Depression & Anxiety Treatment in Davie, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry offers depression and anxiety treatment for adults and adolescents, in person at our Cooper City office, generally under 10 minutes from Davie, and by telehealth across Florida. Davie is home to Florida Atlantic University’s Davie campus, where more than 3,000 students juggle classes, jobs, and deadlines. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, personally leads every evaluation.
Depression & Anxiety Evaluation for Davie Residents
An evaluation for depression or anxiety starts with an open conversation: how mood, worry, sleep, and motivation have been running, what has changed, and how school, work, or home life is going. Michael listens before anything else.
Ongoing stress, sleep loss, and medical conditions can mimic both depression and anxiety, so the evaluation sorts out what is truly driving symptoms before any plan takes shape.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Here, psychiatric care means one clinician who actually knows you. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, meets with you personally at the first evaluation and every visit after, with time held open for your questions.

FAQ
How far is Twelve Oaks Psychiatry from Davie?
Very close. Davie shares a border with Cooper City, and the office at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201 is generally under 10 minutes away via Griffin Road, also signed as State Road 818. Drive time varies with campus-area traffic and your starting point.
What happens at the first appointment?
The first visit is a calm, unhurried conversation about mood, worry, sleep, energy, and how daily life has been going. Michael reviews your history, answers questions, and explains possible next steps. Nothing is decided until you understand the options and feel ready.
Do you see college students for depression and anxiety care near Davie?
Yes. Adults of every age are welcome, including students at Florida Atlantic University’s Davie campus. Visits can happen in person in Cooper City or by secure video from an apartment or dorm anywhere in Florida. Students on a parent’s plan should confirm coverage.
Can teenagers be evaluated for depression or anxiety?
Yes. Teens are seen here with a parent or guardian involved from the first call. Depression and anxiety can show up in adolescents as irritability, slipping grades, or withdrawal rather than sadness, so the evaluation looks carefully at the whole picture.
What medications are used for depression and anxiety?
Treatment is individualized, and nothing is decided before your evaluation. Options may include SSRIs, SNRIs, or other non-addictive classes, each explained openly. Medication is never the only path, and when talk therapy fits better, Michael provides therapist referrals.
Is it anxiety, depression, or both?
Often both. Anxiety tends to bring worry, restlessness, and a mind that will not settle, while depression tends to flatten mood, energy, and interest. Because they frequently occur together and share symptoms, the evaluation maps which pattern is leading before treatment is planned.
Is this the same as counseling or therapy?
No. The practice provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management, not counseling or talk therapy. The two work well together: if you already see a therapist, Michael coordinates with them, and if you would benefit from one, he can point you to a good fit.
Do you accept insurance for depression and anxiety treatment?
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 your first appointment.
Are same-day appointments available?
Often, yes. Same-day appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for in-person 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.
