Depression Treatment for Adults in Florida
Live Now Psychiatry provides online depression evaluation and medication management for adults throughout Florida via secure telepsychiatry.
Thoughtful, unrushed psychiatric care with transparent self-pay pricing — so you can start feeling like yourself again.
When depression is more than “feeling down.”
Depression can affect your energy, motivation, sleep, concentration, appetite, and relationships. Some people feel sadness. Others feel numb, irritable, or like everyday tasks take enormous effort. If you’ve been “pushing through” for weeks or months, you deserve care that looks at your whole picture — not just a quick prescription.
Common symptoms we can help with
You may relate to:
Low mood, emptiness, or tearfulness
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Fatigue, low motivation, feeling slowed down
Changes in sleep (insomnia or sleeping too much)
Appetite/weight changes
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Guilt, self-criticism, or feeling like a burden
Withdrawing from people or responsibilities
If you’re having thoughts of harming yourself, you’re not alone — and you deserve immediate support. If you feel unsafe, call 988 or go to the nearest ER.
How treatment works at Live Now Psychiatry
Step 1: Free 15-minute screening
A quick call to hear what you’re looking for and confirm fit.
Step 2: Comprehensive evaluation
We review symptoms, medical history, medications, sleep, stressors, and what you’ve tried before. We also screen for common “look-alikes” that can worsen mood (thyroid issues, sleep apnea symptoms, medication effects, substance use, bipolar spectrum symptoms, etc.).
Step 3: A plan that fits your life
Your plan may include medication options, lifestyle and sleep support, and therapy-informed tools you can actually use. You’ll leave knowing what we’re doing and why.
Step 4: Follow-ups and fine-tuning
We track progress, side effects, and goals — and adjust thoughtfully.
Medication support (clear, realistic, collaborative)
Medication can be helpful when symptoms are persistent or impairing. If medication is appropriate for you, we’ll discuss:
Expected benefits and what improvement looks like
Side effects to watch for and how we minimize them
How long it typically takes to notice changes
Options if you’ve tried medications in the past
No pressure, no judgment — your preferences matter.
What progress can look like
Many people notice early changes such as improved sleep, more stable mood, or better functioning within 2–6 weeks(varies by person and plan). Our goal is not to “numb” you — it’s to help you feel more like yourself with steadier days and more capacity.

FAQ
Do you accept insurance?
We are self-pay with transparent pricing. Many clients prefer this for privacy and straightforward scheduling.
How quickly can I be seen?
Availability varies. Booking a free screening is the fastest way to find an opening.
Will you prescribe medication on the first visit?
If appropriate and safe, we may start treatment after a comprehensive evaluation if the patient signed up for a medication management appointment (medications won’t be prescribed during a therapy or coaching-only appointment).
What if I’ve tried antidepressants and nothing worked?
There are many paths forward. We review what you tried, doses/durations, side effects, and consider alternatives and contributing factors.
Do you provide therapy?
Yes, at Live Now Psychiatry we offer both therapy and medication management appointments.
