Telehealth Psychiatry in Weston, FL
Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry for adults and adolescents: psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and follow-ups by secure video from home in Weston, often the same day. Nearly 98 percent of Weston households have a broadband internet subscription, the same connection a video visit uses. The Cooper City office is close by for in-person care. Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, leads every visit.
Video Psychiatric Care in Weston
Video evaluations here keep their full shape: mood, attention, anxiety, sleep, health history, and the pace of work and family life, all discussed without hurry from a private space you choose at home.
The clear boundaries: each visit requires being physically in Florida, Michael recommends the office when that setting serves you better, and prescriptions follow evaluation and Florida and federal requirements.
Why Choose Twelve Oaks Psychiatry
Care here keeps its memory. Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, is the single clinician behind every video and office visit, so each appointment builds on the last instead of starting from a blank file.
Weston residents often fold video visits into work-from-home days or evenings after practice, with the Cooper City office a short drive east when preferred.

FAQ
Do I ever need to come to the office, and how far is it from Weston?
Most care can happen entirely by video. When an office visit is preferred or recommended, Twelve Oaks is at 10400 Griffin Rd, Suite 201, Cooper City, about 15 to 20 minutes east of most Weston neighborhoods via Griffin Road or I-75.
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 Weston. Is this that?
Close, with one honest distinction. This is online psychiatric care led by Michael, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a physician. He completes every video evaluation himself, manages medication when appropriate, and stays the one clinician behind every follow-up.
Can medication be prescribed by 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.
Does telehealth work for teens with packed schedules?
Yes. Teens are seen by video with a parent or guardian involved in each visit, and appointments can land after school or between activities. Michael keeps parents part of every decision while giving the teen room to speak in their own words.
Will Michael tell us if video is not the right fit?
Yes, before you have to wonder. When an in-person evaluation would serve better, he says so plainly and the visit moves to the Cooper City office with the same clinician. Video visits can resume whenever they fit the plan again.
Our family’s telehealth provider stopped serving Florida. Can care continue here?
It can continue here rather than starting from nothing. Michael reviews any records you bring, completes his own full evaluation, and follows Florida and federal prescribing requirements from there, so the next change of platform never takes your care with it.
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.
