Telehealth Psychiatry in Quincy, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry to adults and adolescents, with psychiatric medication management when appropriate, by secure video from home in Quincy, often the same day. In 2026, Gadsden County’s 44,298 residents shared no practicing psychiatrist, a gap charted in Florida’s psychiatric care deserts, and statewide video care exists to close it. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Quincy Residents
The first appointment is a conversation, not a questionnaire. Michael works through attention, mood, worry, and sleep as they have sat with you lately, the health history underneath them, and the change you are after, all from a private space at home.
Every appointment requires you to be physically in Florida, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements. Michael flags it early when video is not the right tool.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Licensure, not geography, sets the reach of this care. Michael’s Florida license covers the whole state; an address anywhere in Florida draws the identical appointment, and the clinician who opens your care keeps it.
Around Quincy the workday is well underway while much of the state is still waking, and a video visit slots into it without costing the morning.
- Same clinician every visit
- HIPAA-compliant video visits

FAQ
Do I ever need to be seen in person?
Not in the ordinary course. Video is how this care was designed to begin and end. If something ever needs examining in person, Michael brings it forward and helps settle where that belongs, in your own county if possible. The plan you have keeps going.
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 was looking for an online psychiatrist in Quincy. Is that what this is?
Close, with one honest distinction. The care behind that search is all here on video: the evaluation, prescribing when the evaluation warrants it, and the follow-ups after. It belongs to one person, Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner rather than a physician.
Does a video appointment cover the prescription side of things?
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.
I look after my mother at home and cannot leave for my own appointment. Is there a way around that?
There is. The appointment comes to the room you are already in, so the person you look after is never left alone for it. Appointments open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, and same-day slots are often among them.
What does an adolescent visit look like here?
A parent or guardian is on the appointment, either beside the teen or within reach of it. Michael pitches the questions at whatever age the teen is, hears the teen out first, and puts every finding and option to both of them before anything is chosen.
My address is out in Gadsden County rather than in Quincy. Does that change anything?
Nothing at all. A video visit cares about one thing where location is concerned: Florida. An address on the far side of the county gets exactly what a town address gets, and the rural communities around it are served no differently.
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.
