Telehealth Psychiatry in Clewiston, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry delivers telehealth psychiatry to adults and adolescents, with psychiatric medication management when appropriate, by secure video from home in Clewiston, often the same day. No psychiatrist practiced in Hendry County in 2026, where one psychiatric nurse practitioner served 48,276 residents, a gap the practice’s care access study maps and statewide video care can close. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatry Visits for Clewiston
The first visit is not a quick intake. Michael moves through sleep, worry, mood, and attention as each stands right now, the health picture surrounding them, and what a better stretch would look like, from a private space at home.
Each appointment asks one thing of your location: physically in Florida. Prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements, and Michael speaks up when video is not the right tool.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
No part of this care is scaled down for a smaller town. One Florida license carries it across the state, every address inside that state draws the same appointment, and one clinician stays with it from there on.
Around Clewiston the school day and the workday rarely end at the same hour, and an appointment needing nothing but a closed door can sit in the space between them.
- 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?
Not how this is built. Video carries the evaluation and each visit past it. Should a question arise that only an in-person exam can answer, Michael puts it to you straight and helps sort out where, your own county included. The record and plan hold.
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.
The search that brought me here said online psychiatrist in Clewiston. Is this it?
Close, with one honest distinction. What that phrase describes happens here by video: a full evaluation, then prescribing should the findings point that way, then the follow-ups that come after. The clinician throughout is Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician.
Can a prescription come out of an appointment held on video?
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.
By the time my day eases up, most offices are shut. Is there anything left?
Often the last workable hour of the day is still open. Appointments run Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, can be booked up to two hours ahead, and the window’s later end is open to book like any other hour, particularly when you call earlier in the day.
Is a teenager able to be seen like this?
Yes. A parent or guardian belongs to every teen appointment, sitting in or on hand throughout. Teens get room to explain things first, the wording matches how old the teen is, and no finding and no choice goes by without both of them hearing it.
I am elsewhere in Hendry County, away from Clewiston. Does that affect the visit?
None whatsoever. A video appointment puts a single question to your location, and Florida answers it, so any address well into the county, along with the rural communities threaded through it, gets treated no differently. A private room and a working camera cover the rest.
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.
