Convenient psychiatric care for Winter Park
Winter Park sits just north of downtown Orlando, an Orange County city known for the boutiques and oak shaded sidewalks of Park Avenue, the campus of Rollins College, and the Winter Park chain of lakes. It's a community of professionals, business owners, and families whose calendars rarely leave room for a cross town appointment, let alone a months long wait to be seen.
shrinkMD takes the appointment off your commute. There's no drive down I-4 or Orlando Avenue, no parking, and no shared waiting area. You meet your clinician by private video from your home, your office near the Avenue, or anywhere quiet, and you keep the same clinician as your care continues.
You'll work with a clinician licensed in Florida, with the warmth, continuity, and follow up you'd expect from an in person practice in Winter Park, fit around your day rather than the other way around.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is telepsychiatry available in Winter Park?
Yes. You can be seen anywhere in Winter Park and greater Orlando by private video, as long as you're physically located in Florida and your clinician holds an active Florida license at the time of your appointment.
How private is an online visit?
Very. Visits are one on one with your clinician over secure, HIPAA compliant video, with no shared waiting room and no clinic sign in. You choose a quiet, private spot, and your records stay confidential.
Do you prescribe controlled medication in Winter Park?
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 Winter Park?
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 near Park Avenue.
Do you serve nearby Maitland, Baldwin Park, and College Park?
Yes. We serve all of Winter Park and the surrounding greater Orlando communities by private video, including Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, and Casselberry, as long as you're in Florida at the time of your visit.
Will I see the same clinician each time?
Yes. Continuity matters, so you keep the same clinician across your evaluation, medication management, and follow up visits, rather than starting over with someone new.
What number do I call in Winter Park for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988 from anywhere in Winter Park, or dial 211 for the Heart of Florida United Way crisis and referral line. If you may be in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in Winter Park?
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.
Can Rollins students be seen, and what about over the summer?
Yes, adults 18 and older, with care continuing from anywhere in Florida over breaks and in any of our other nine states if you head home. First episodes at college age deserve continuity, not a restart every term.
I already have a therapist in Winter Park. Do I have to switch?
No. Keep your therapist; we coordinate with them, with your permission. Many patients pair local therapy with shrinkMD for evaluation and medication management.
