The Gulf coast
Psychiatric care that fits the rhythm of Naples
Naples is a quiet, walkable city on the southwest Gulf coast, where life moves between the beach, the golf communities, and the boutiques along Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. It's a place where people value their privacy, and where the seasonal rhythm means schedules can be full and travel frequent. Even here, finding a psychiatrist who's taking new patients can mean a long wait, and the appointment you do land may sit hours away from the rest of your day.
shrinkMD removes that friction. You meet your clinician by secure video from your home in Old Naples, your office, or wherever you happen to be, with no waiting room and no one to run into on the way in. For busy professionals and families balancing children, careers, and a calendar that doesn't slow down, care that comes to you is care you'll actually keep.
You'll work with one clinician licensed in Florida, with the warmth, continuity, and follow up of an in person practice, so your care builds over time rather than starting over with someone new at every visit.

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 Naples?
Yes. You can be seen anywhere in Naples and Collier 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 Naples?
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 Naples?
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 the area.
What areas of Naples do you serve?
All of it by secure video, from Old Naples, Port Royal, and Pelican Bay to North Naples, Golden Gate, Marco Island, and nearby Bonita Springs and Estero.
Is online psychiatry private and convenient for a full schedule?
Yes. You meet your clinician by secure, HIPAA compliant video from home, your office, or while traveling, with no waiting room and no commute. It's discreet care that fits around work, family, and a calendar that stays full.
What number do I call in Naples for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988 from anywhere in Naples, or reach the David Lawrence Centers 24/7 crisis line at 239-352-4357. 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 Naples?
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 Naples area, by secure, HIPAA compliant video, from home, the office, or any private spot with an internet connection.
We winter in Naples and summer up north. How does that work for psychiatry?
Visits must occur while you are physically in a state your clinician serves. shrinkMD covers multiple states including Florida and New York, so many seasonal residents keep continuous care; we map your calendar to coverage when you book.
Is online psychiatry workable for older adults?
Very. Our patients in their sixties and seventies routinely tell us video visits are easier than the office ever was: no driving, no waiting room, and the same clinician each time. We help with the first connection if technology is a worry.
