South Palm Beach County
Psychiatric care that keeps pace with Boca Raton
Boca Raton runs from the Atlantic beaches and the Mizner inspired downtown out to the country clubs and family neighborhoods of west Boca, all within southern Palm Beach County. It's a city of professionals, business owners, students at Florida Atlantic University, and families with packed calendars, where the distance between the coast and the western communities can turn a single appointment into half a day. Even with good options nearby, a psychiatrist taking new patients can be weeks or months out.
shrinkMD takes the drive and the waiting room out of the picture. You connect with your clinician by secure video from a quiet room at home in Royal Palm, your office downtown, or anywhere you have a moment of privacy, so getting care doesn't mean rearranging your whole day or sitting in a shared lobby.
You'll see one clinician licensed in Florida, with the continuity and follow up of an in person practice. Your history carries forward from visit to visit, so care deepens over time instead of restarting with someone new.

Cost and coverage
Insurance, access, and appointment availability in Florida
shrinkMD operates on a transparent self pay basis, so you always know the cost up front, with no surprise bills. If your plan includes out of network telehealth benefits, we can provide the documentation you need to submit for reimbursement.
We're built for timely access. Many Florida patients schedule a full evaluation as soon as availability allows, not the months long wait common in traditional practices, with online scheduling, virtual visits that remove travel and missed workdays, and consistent follow up that never restarts your care.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is telepsychiatry available in Boca Raton?
Yes. You can be seen anywhere in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County by secure video, as long as you're physically located in Florida and your clinician holds an active Florida license at the time of your appointment.
Do you prescribe controlled medication in Boca Raton?
No. shrinkMD does not prescribe controlled substances. We use non controlled medications such as SSRIs and SNRIs, paired with coordinated therapy.
How fast can I be seen in Boca Raton?
Many patients schedule a full evaluation as soon as availability allows, depending on availability, which is often much faster than finding an in person psychiatrist taking new patients in southern Palm Beach County.
What areas of Boca Raton do you serve?
All of it by secure video, from Downtown, Mizner Park, and east Boca to west Boca, the Polo Club, and nearby Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, and Parkland.
Is online psychiatry private and convenient for a demanding schedule?
Yes. You meet your clinician by secure, HIPAA compliant video from home, the office, or wherever you are, with no waiting room and no drive between the coast and west Boca. It's discreet care that fits around work and family.
What number do I call in Boca Raton for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988 from anywhere in Boca Raton, or reach 211 Palm Beach and Treasure Coast at 561-383-1111 for 24/7 support. If you may be in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department, which under Florida's Baker Act can serve as a receiving facility.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in Boca Raton?
shrinkMD operates on a transparent self pay basis. If your plan includes out of network telehealth benefits, we can provide documentation you can submit for reimbursement.
Where do appointments take place?
Wherever you are in the Boca Raton area, by secure, HIPAA compliant video, from home, the office, or any private spot with an internet connection.
I have a high profile role in finance. How private is this, really?
Structurally private: no insurance billing means no claims data, records move only with your written authorization, and appointments happen wherever you have a door that closes. Discretion is the default, not an upgrade.
We split time between Boca and New York. Can one psychiatrist cover both?
Frequently yes. shrinkMD clinicians serve Florida and New York among multiple states, and visits simply happen from whichever home you are in, as long as that state is covered.
