Medication Management in Orlando, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides psychiatric medication management for adults and adolescents through telehealth psychiatry: evaluation, prescribing when appropriate, and follow-ups by secure video from home in Orlando, often the same day. Orange County counted about 153 behavioral and mental health professionals per 100,000 residents in 2024, yet none of that count can prescribe, and one phone call here reaches a clinician who can. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Orlando Video Medication Management
Nothing gets skipped on camera: the evaluation covers attention, worry, mood, and sleep, a careful health history, plus how your days have looked lately, with room for every question you bring, all from a private space at home.
Three constants: you are physically inside Florida for every visit, Michael tells you when video is not the right tool, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
A video visit is the same appointment from any Florida address, because Michael’s license covers the entire state and a screen at one end shows him what one at the other does. The same clinician carries the care.
Orlando’s hospitality shifts, theme park schedules, and student calendars run on odd hours, and video follow-ups slide into a morning before a shift or an evening after class.
- Same clinician every visit
- HIPAA-compliant video visits
- Prescriptions sent to your pharmacy
- Statewide Florida video care
- Same-day appointments available
- Most major insurance accepted

FAQ
Do I ever need to be seen in person?
The care is built to run fully by video. Should a situation ever truly call for an in-person exam, Michael says so plainly and helps figure out the right path, which can include care closer to home. Your record and plan stay intact either way.
What do I need for a video visit?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, a private space to talk, and being physically in Florida at the time of the visit. A secure link is sent before the appointment, and for teen visits a parent or guardian joins as well.
I searched for an online psychiatrist in Orlando. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. Michael is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician, and Twelve Oaks Psychiatry is a psychiatric practice providing evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and follow-up care fully by video. He leads every appointment rather than sharing them across a roster.
Can a video visit include a prescription?
Many psychiatric medications can be prescribed and managed through video visits, with prescriptions sent electronically to a Florida pharmacy. Prescribing decisions follow a full evaluation and Florida and federal prescribing requirements, some medications carry additional rules for video visits, and no medication is guaranteed in advance.
We moved to Florida mid-treatment. Can my medication care pick up here?
It can. Records from your previous prescriber, in any state, are welcome, and Michael completes his own full evaluation before continuing any plan. Bring your medication list and pharmacy details. After that first visit the care stays with one clinician, wherever in Florida you settle.
Is video medication care available for my teenager?
Yes. A parent or guardian is involved in every teen video visit, present or reachable throughout. Michael adjusts the pace to the teen’s age, explains findings to teen and parent together, and keeps the parent inside each decision, including any medication option explained by class.
Does living in the wider Orlando metro rather than the city change the visit?
No. A video visit is the same at any Florida address, so the surrounding Orlando metro is served exactly as the city is. Be physically in Florida at visit time, have a device with a camera and a private space, and the appointment is identical.
Does insurance cover telehealth visits?
Yes. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and 200+ additional plans. Telehealth coverage varies by plan, so please confirm your benefits and in-network status with your insurer before your first video visit.
Are same-day video appointments available?
Often, yes. Same-day video appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, 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.
