Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in Jacksonville, FL
Heal | Balance | Thrive
Prescriber-led evaluations, medication management, and teen therapy for children and adolescents in Jacksonville, FL, with telehealth visits anywhere in Florida.
Care built around the whole family
Children rarely arrive with a tidy list of symptoms. A parent notices grades slipping, a teacher mentions focus, bedtime turns into an argument. Our evaluations pull those threads together into one plan you can actually follow at home and at school.
Initial evaluations run 60 minutes with the parent present. Self-pay is $325 for the evaluation and $165 for follow-up visits. Our office is at 4741 Atlantic Boulevard, Suite 210, Jacksonville, FL 32207, and we are open monday to thursday 9:00am to 5:00pm, friday 9:00am to 1:00pm et.

How the first visit works
1. Parent phone call
A parent or legal guardian shares only a name and the best way to reach you. We call back within one business day and gather clinical history over the phone, never through this website.
2. Initial evaluation, 60 minutes
Parent and child are both part of the visit. We review development, school, sleep, family history, and any prior treatment, then agree on a plan together.
3. Follow-up and coordination
Follow-up visits run 25 to 30 minutes. With your written permission we coordinate with pediatricians, therapists, and school teams.
Questions parents ask
- What ages do you treat?
- We see children and adolescents ages 6 through 17, and we continue care into adulthood for established patients.
- Does a parent need to attend?
- Yes. A parent or legal guardian must attend the initial evaluation and consent to treatment. Teens also get private time in the visit when it is helpful.
- Which areas do you serve?
- Our office serves Jacksonville and the surrounding communities, including Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, and Macclenny. Telehealth visits are available anywhere in Florida.
- Do you prescribe stimulant medication for ADHD?
- Yes, when the evaluation supports it. We review benefits, side effects, and monitoring with parents first, and we do not prescribe controlled medication before a full evaluation.
- What does it cost?
- Self-pay is $325 for the initial evaluation and $165 for follow-up visits. Insurance details are on our insurance page.
