Your Neighbors, by Video

Lakewood Ranch and Parrish have been among the fastest-growing communities in the country for a decade, and services have not kept pace. New subdivisions open every season; new psychiatric practices do not. Many adults here still drive to Sarasota or Tampa for care, or go without.

We are based in Lakewood Ranch (mailing address 9040 Town Center Parkway, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202; there is no walk-in office). We treat adults throughout east Manatee County by video, which means an appointment from your home in Del Webb, Esplanade, or North River Ranch, or your office along University Parkway, without a drive. The care is the same as an in-person practice: a 60-minute initial evaluation, real follow-up visits, prescriptions sent electronically to the Publix or CVS you already use.

Psychiatric care is provided by Ashley Carro, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, Tabatha Sams, PMHNP-BC, and Jason de Luisa, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC. Nicole Adams, LPC, provides individual therapy, so medication management and therapy can come from one team that coordinates directly.

Who We See From Lakewood Ranch and Parrish

People reach us at different points. These are the most common.

Just Moved Here
You relocated for the schools, the job, or the retirement you planned, and your prescriber is in another state. After an initial evaluation we continue established treatment with your records in hand.
Parents Who Finally Have a Minute
The kids are in school and the attention, mood, or anxiety you have been managing around for years is still there. We treat adults 18 and older, including the parents in the carpool line.
Adults Who Suspect ADHD
You have been told you are disorganized or anxious your whole life and wonder whether it is ADHD. We offer full adult evaluation with QbCheck objective testing from home. We also see many women whose ADHD was missed earlier.
Retired in Lakewood Ranch
Mood, anxiety, and sleep change in retirement, and psychiatric medication needs to be reviewed alongside everything else you take. We look at the whole list.

Your days already include an hour on I-75. A video visit from your office or a parked car in a private spot fits in a lunch hour.

Why Telehealth

Why Telehealth Works in East Manatee

East Manatee County has the population of a mid-sized city and the psychiatric infrastructure of a much smaller one. The nearest in-person practices are in Sarasota and Bradenton and most are full.

A video appointment removes the drive and the waiting room without removing the care. Your evaluation is the same length and depth it would be in an office, and follow-ups are easy to keep. Prescriptions go to your local pharmacy the same day.

You must be physically in Florida at the time of each appointment. Beyond that, whether you are in Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, Palmetto, Ellenton, or Myakka City makes no difference.
