Meet Rebecca Sommer, PMHNP-BC
I am a dual board-certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner with more than 15 years of healthcare experience. I provide private, one-on-one telehealth care for adults throughout Florida.
I believe people should be able to explain what they are experiencing without feeling rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. My approach is warm and supportive while remaining careful, structured, and safety-focused.
During treatment, we look at the full picture—including symptoms, physical health, sleep, medications, relationships, responsibilities, stressors, and treatment goals. When medication is appropriate, I explain the available options and work collaboratively with you on a plan.

About Your Care
What is it like to work with you?
My approach is supportive, thoughtful, and personalized. I take time to understand the full picture — not just symptoms — so we can create a plan that truly fits your life.
Do you only prescribe medication?
No. While I provide medication management when appropriate, I also focus on therapy, lifestyle factors, and long-term strategies so you feel supported beyond just prescriptions.
Will I feel rushed during appointments?
No. I prioritize creating a calm, unhurried space where you feel heard and understood. Your experience matters.
What makes your approach different?
I combine medical expertise with a more personal, individualized approach. You’re not just a diagnosis — we focus on your goals, your story, and what actually works for you.
What if I’m nervous to start?
That’s completely normal. Many people feel unsure at first. The free 15-minute screening is a simple, low-pressure way to ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit.
Do you treat both mild and more complex concerns?
Live Now Psychiatry provides outpatient care within the practice’s clinical scope. Some conditions, medication regimens, substance-use concerns, or safety needs may require a psychiatrist, addiction specialist, in-person provider, or higher level of care. The screening process helps determine whether the practice is an appropriate fit.
How do you decide if medication is right for me?
We make that decision together based on your symptoms, history, and preferences. Medication is only recommended when it is appropriate, safe, and aligned with your goals.
How do I get started?
The easiest way is to book a free 15-minute screening. From there, we’ll guide you step-by-step.
