Telehealth Psychiatry in Hollywood, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry for adults and adolescents: psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and follow-up care by secure video from home in Hollywood, often the same day. More than nine in ten Hollywood households carry a broadband internet subscription, so most homes are already set up for a visit. The Cooper City office remains available in person. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatric Care in Hollywood
A video evaluation runs the same unhurried course as an office one: mood, attention, anxiety, sleep, medical history, and the shape of your days, all from whatever private corner of home you choose.
Stated plainly: each visit requires being physically in Florida, Michael recommends the office when video is not the better tool, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
What does not change between screen and office is the person. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, conducts every video appointment himself, and continuity of care does not hinge on any company or app.
Hollywood residents working nights, weekends, and holiday shifts often keep psychiatric care fully on video, with the Cooper City office there whenever in person feels right.

FAQ
Do I ever need to come to the office, and how far is it from Hollywood?
Most care can happen entirely by video. If an office visit is ever preferred or recommended, Twelve Oaks is at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201, Cooper City, generally 20 to 30 minutes west of Hollywood via Griffin Road or I-595.
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 Hollywood. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. The practice provides online psychiatric care, and the clinician behind it is Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician. Every video evaluation, medication decision, and follow-up runs through him personally, visit after visit.
Can medication be prescribed over 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.
Can shift workers get video visits that fit changing schedules?
Yes. Weekday openings run 10am to 6pm with same-day slots often available, and video removes the commute entirely. Many people around Hollywood book visits before a night shift or after a morning one, from home, as long as they are in Florida.
Does telehealth work for teens in Hollywood?
Yes. Adolescents are seen by video with a parent or guardian involved in every appointment. After-school slots keep visits from colliding with class schedules, and Michael coordinates with therapists, school counselors, or pediatricians when a parent wants that support.
My previous telehealth care ended suddenly. Can it continue here?
It can, after a fresh start done properly. Bring whatever records you have, and Michael completes a full evaluation before continuing any plan, following Florida and federal prescribing requirements. From there, your care stays with one clinician who is not going anywhere.
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 appointments are frequently open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, for video and office visits alike, 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.
