Psychiatric Evaluation in Boca Raton
Boca runs on performance: the portfolio, the practice, the family calendar, the appearance that everything is handled. Which is exactly why anxiety and depression here go untreated for years, high functioning people are the best in the world at hiding symptoms, and the thought of a diagnosis floating through an insurance database keeps them hiding. Meanwhile the 3 a.m. wakeups and the shortened patience keep compounding. A psychiatric evaluation is how the guessing ends: one structured hour with a board certified clinician that produces a real diagnosis and a real plan. shrinkMD brings that hour to Boca Raton by secure video, as clinician availability allows.

Our model was practically designed for Boca: board certified clinicians by private video, appointments that fit between meetings or after the close, and zero insurance involvement, which means zero claims data, zero employer plan visibility, and records that move only with your signature.
If you split the year between Boca and the Northeast, continuity is simple, we serve ten states including Florida and New York, so the same clinician follows your calendar.
What's included
What a thorough evaluation looks like
We treat the evaluation as the highest leverage hour in psychiatry, because everything downstream depends on it. Yours runs 45 to 60 minutes and works through symptoms, sleep, substances and caffeine, medical history, family patterns, and the full record of prior treatment, what helped, what did not, and at what dose and duration.
Differential diagnosis is the discipline most often skipped in shorter intakes, and the one we refuse to skip: unipolar versus bipolar, anxiety versus trauma, attention deficit versus exhaustion. The visit closes with a plain language diagnosis, measured baselines, a stepwise plan, same day prescriptions when appropriate, and an honest answer about whether outpatient telehealth is the right level of care for you.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
How fast can I be seen in Boca Raton?
Within days, by video, from home or office. The two month waits at local practices are the gap we close.
Is this discreet enough for someone with a public professional profile?
Yes, structurally. No insurance claims, no waiting rooms, no databases. Several of our Boca patients chose us specifically after asking this exact question.
Do I need a referral to book an evaluation?
No. You book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward so the whole picture stays connected.
Is a video evaluation as accurate as in person?
Yes. Psychiatric evaluation is history, conversation, and structured screening, all fully intact over secure video, and the research consistently shows equivalence.
What happens after the evaluation?
Treatment starts: same day prescriptions when appropriate, a booked follow up, therapy coordination when it belongs in the plan, and measured progress from visit one.
