Florida Access to Care
Florida's Provider Shortage Is Why Waitlists Are So Long
Access to psychiatric care in Florida depends heavily on where you live and who is taking new patients. Telehealth removes the geography problem entirely.
What Christine Treats
Psychiatric Care for What Florida Patients Search for Most
One provider, one plan, and an approach that looks at your whole health picture rather than a symptom checklist.
ADHD Evaluation & Treatment
Adult and adolescent ADHD assessment and ongoing medication management, including presentations that were missed in childhood.
Anxiety & Panic
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and health anxiety — medication management paired with practical coping work.
Depression
Major depression, persistent low mood, and postpartum depression, evaluated carefully rather than treated by default.
Medication Management
Already diagnosed and just need a reliable Florida prescriber? Consistent refills, monitoring, and thoughtful adjustments.
Mood, Trauma & OCD
Bipolar spectrum conditions, PTSD, and OCD managed with close monitoring and coordination with any therapist you already see.
Second Opinions
If your current plan isn't working, a fresh psychiatric review can surface what's been missed — including medical drivers of mood symptoms.
About Your Provider
Dual-Certified in Psychiatry and Family Medicine
Christine Forge is board certified as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. Thyroid disease, anemia, vitamin D deficiency, perimenopause, and chronic illness can all look like depression or anxiety — and they are routinely missed when mental health is treated in isolation.
Appointments are unhurried. You get time to explain what is actually happening, and a plan built around your life rather than a protocol.
Christine is licensed in Florida, Wisconsin, and Nevada, with full prescribing authority in Florida — including controlled substances when clinically appropriate.
