Adult & Adolescent Psychiatry in Davie, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides adult and adolescent psychiatry, including psychiatric medication management, in person at our Cooper City office generally under 10 minutes from Davie and by telehealth across Florida. Davie is home to Western High School, one of Broward County’s largest, and adolescent psychiatric care close to home is hard to find. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, personally leads every visit.
Psychiatric Evaluation for Davie Families
Every evaluation is built on listening: adults talk through symptoms, history, and what daily life demands, while teen evaluations bring a parent into the room and give the teen genuine space to describe things in their own words.
The practice treats adolescents with a parent or guardian involved at each step. Younger children are referred out, honestly and quickly, to clinicians who specialize in their care.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Care here is one clinician deep by design. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, evaluates and follows every patient himself, and when a parent and teen both need care, each gets their own private course of treatment.
The office sits just over the Davie line, under 10 minutes by Griffin Road for most residents, and after-school telehealth slots keep teen follow-ups simple.
- Real adolescent psychiatric care
- Parents involved at every step
- First-class care for adults

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Davie?
Very close. Davie borders Cooper City, and the office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201 is generally under 10 minutes away via Griffin Road, also signed State Road 818. School-zone traffic can add a few minutes in the afternoon, and telehealth is always available.
What happens at the first appointment?
The first visit is an unhurried conversation about history, symptoms, and goals. Adults meet with Michael one on one. For teens, a parent or guardian joins, and the visit balances the teen’s own voice with family input. Nothing is decided before you understand the options.
I searched for an adolescent psychiatrist near Davie. Is Twelve Oaks that?
Close, with one honest distinction. Michael Hernandez is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner rather than a physician, and he provides what most families are actually seeking: thorough psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and steady follow-up for teens, with parents involved throughout.
Will I be included in my teenager’s care?
Yes, at every step. A parent or guardian is present for the first visit, informed about the evaluation, and part of treatment decisions. Teens still get room to speak candidly, because their own account is essential to an accurate picture.
Can our whole family use the same practice?
Adults and teens can each be seen here, so a parent managing their own care and a teenager starting theirs can share one trusted clinician. Every family member has separate, private visits and an individual plan; nothing is shared between them by default.
Do teen appointments work by telehealth?
Yes. Secure video visits are available statewide for adults and adolescents alike, with a parent involved in teen visits just as in the office. Many Davie families use after-school video slots for follow-ups and save office visits for when they prefer them.
How quickly can a teen actually be seen?
Often much sooner than at large group practices. Same-day openings are frequently available Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, bookable up to two hours ahead. For a family that has been sitting on a waitlist elsewhere, that difference matters.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and 200+ additional plans. Coverage varies by plan, so please confirm your benefits and in-network status with your insurer before the first visit.
Are same-day appointments available?
Often, yes. Same-day appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for office and telehealth visits, and can be booked up to two hours before the visit. Calling (954) 947-1130 earlier in the day helps.
What should I do in a mental health crisis?
If you feel you might harm yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 right away. For crisis support, you can reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. In many Florida communities, 2-1-1 connects you to crisis information and local referrals.
