Better Connections specializes in evidence-based psychiatric services providing comprehensive assessment, diagnostic, and treatment services for adults. Licensed to practice psychiatry in FL, GA and AL. When the focus in treatment is on substance use, we practice the philosophy of harm reduction, the focus is not on the use of substances, but rather on the dysfunction and harm that substances can bring to someone’s life. We are committed to delivering high-quality mental health care and related client-focused services. *We are accepting new patients, due to the limited availability through the Grow Therapy platform, please contact the practice (352-308-1485) to obtain patient portal access. *Patients are required to complete intake forms, through h practice portal, before scheduling an initial appointment.*
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Supporting adults through life’s challenges and transitions providing the highest quality, compassionate psychiatric care to my patients; creating a comprehensive, evidenced based treatment plan for the best clinical outcomes.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
We use a biopsychosocial approach, which means that psychological and environmental factors are as important as medical aspects when evaluating a condition. We believe in patient-centered treatment where the psychiatrist acts as an advisor/consultant to patients in deciding on what treatment modality to use rather than deciding for them.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Focusing on the treatment of all psychiatric disorders primarily for adults with a special interest in women's issues, the LGBTQ+ and Hispanic population. Our mission and vision is to empower patients, in a safe environment, to develop the skills they need to “overcome” their mental disorder in a compassionate and patient centered way.
