60-minute first visits. Telehealth statewide. In-network with 9 insurers. You'll see the same provider every time.

Most psychiatric providers only see mental health. Our team sees mental health and how it intersects with physical health - hormones, sleep, chronic conditions, and the medications managing them.
That means when you come in for depression management, they aren't just evaluating your mood. They're looking at the full picture: your thyroid, your sleep quality, your current medication load, your life context. This is psychiatry the way it was always supposed to be practiced.
No rushed 15-minute refill visits. No different provider every time. No disconnected system where your PCP doesn't know what your psychiatric provider just changed. At Ascend, your care team communicates.
No 15-minute windows. No cutting corners. Your first visit gives your provider enough time to understand your full history, your current situation, and the right starting point for your care - before any prescription is written.
Continuity of care is not optional. You'll see the same provider from your initial evaluation through every follow-up - building a relationship that actually allows your care to improve over time, not start over each visit.
Virtual visits for patients anywhere in Florida via HIPAA-secure video. Evaluations, follow-ups, and medication management - all available without leaving home when that's what works best for you.
