PTSD Treatment in Orlando, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry offers PTSD and trauma treatment to adults and adolescents over video, and it reaches Orlando homes through telehealth across Florida, same-day slots when the calendar allows. Of the emergency department visits Orange County recorded in 2025, 7,098 were for mental disorders, and the quieter route, an evaluation booked early from home, stays open every weekday. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every evaluation.
Video PTSD Care for Orlando
This is a complete evaluation, not a symptom checklist: irritability, guardedness, low mood, broken sleep, and the memories that arrive uninvited all get their time, alongside your health record and what brought you here. Michael follows your lead on depth.
Anxiety, depression, and plain exhaustion can wear the same face as trauma, so all three get weighed. Visits find you inside Florida; Michael flags whatever video cannot assess.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
What reaches your screen here is the whole practice, not a branch of it: a license good statewide, one standard for the appointment wherever in the state you sit, and Michael, who starts your care, staying on it.
Orlando keeps late hours by design: shifts ending after midnight, classes at eight, parents on opposite schedules. A video visit lands in the overlap without anyone rebuilding the week.
- Trauma-informed video evaluations

FAQ
Do I ever need to be seen in person?
No office belongs to this care. Video is where the visits start and where they stay. If something proves to need hands-on examination, Michael says it early and helps arrange where that exam happens. Both the record and the plan hold.
What does a PTSD video visit require?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, somewhere private to sit, and yourself physically in Florida when it starts. You get a secure link first, and teen visits include a parent or guardian. No one is asked to retell traumatic events in detail.
Does online psychiatrist Orlando, for trauma, describe Twelve Oaks?
Close, with one honest distinction. Trauma-focused psychiatric care takes place here entirely online: evaluation, then prescribing where the results justify it, then follow-up. Michael’s credential is PMHNP-BC, board certification for a psychiatric nurse practitioner; no medical degree sits behind the title. He keeps every appointment himself.
What happens when my plan includes medication and all my visits are on camera?
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.
Can a teen who has been through trauma do video visits?
Yes, with one fixed condition: a parent or guardian belongs on every visit, on camera or close by. Michael matches his language to the teen, lets them tell it their way, and goes over findings and choices with both before anything moves forward.
Do PTSD, anxiety, and depression get treated as one thing?
As one evaluation, not one diagnosis. They share broken sleep and short tempers, then part ways: anxiety dreads what is ahead, depression empties what is here, and PTSD replays what happened with a startle that lingers. Sorting which leads comes first; medication management in Orlando follows.
Beyond Orlando proper, does the wider metro get identical care?
The entire metro, on identical terms. Because telehealth psychiatry in Orlando rests on one license written for every Florida county, suburb and downtown book the same appointment. Three things are needed when the visit begins: a camera, somewhere private, and a Florida location.
Do you accept insurance for PTSD 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 PTSD appointment.
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.
