Adult & Adolescent Psychiatry in Miramar, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides adult and adolescent psychiatry, including psychiatric medication management, in person at our Cooper City office about 7 miles north of Miramar and by telehealth across Florida. Miramar is home to two Broward County public high schools, Miramar High and Everglades High, plus charter campuses, and families here know how much teens carry. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Psychiatric Evaluation for Miramar Families
One evaluation structure serves everyone, shaped by age: adults walk through symptoms, history, and daily demands in a single unhurried conversation, and teen visits weave in a parent’s perspective while the teen keeps their own voice.
Teens are treated here with a parent or guardian involved from the first call. Younger children are referred to specialized child clinicians rather than fit into the wrong care.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Adults and teens here get the same thing: a single clinician who knows them. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, runs each evaluation and follow-up personally, so no one repeats their story to a stranger twice.
The office is about 7 miles north of Miramar via Palm Avenue, Flamingo Road, or I-75, with after-school and after-work telehealth taking the pressure off weekdays.

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Miramar?
The office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201, Cooper City is about 7 miles north of Miramar, usually 12 to 20 minutes by Palm Avenue, Flamingo Road, or I-75. Because Miramar runs long east to west, exact timing depends on your neighborhood.
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 Miramar. Is Twelve Oaks that?
Close, with one honest distinction. Michael Hernandez is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician, and he provides exactly what most families are searching for: full psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing follow-up for teens, with a parent involved throughout.
What does parent involvement look like for teen care?
A parent or guardian is there from the first appointment, hears the findings, and shares in every decision. Teens also get honest room to describe their own experience, since an evaluation built only on secondhand accounts misses too much.
Can adults get their own care here too?
Absolutely. Adult psychiatric care is a full half of the practice, not an afterthought: complete evaluations, medication management, and steady follow-up. Some Miramar households end up with a parent and a teen each seeing Michael separately, each with private visits.
Are video visits available for teens after school?
Yes. Statewide telehealth covers adults and adolescents, and teen video visits include a parent just as office visits do. After-school slots are popular with Miramar families, and moving between office and video appointments is as easy as a call.
Does the practice see young children?
No. The practice treats adults and adolescents. When families call about a younger child, Michael is straightforward about it and helps them find a clinician who specializes in early-childhood care, which serves the child far better than a poor fit.
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.
