I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering telehealth medication management for adults across Florida. New patients are typically seen within one week. My path to psychiatry began with medical school training in Cuba, followed by 8 years caring for critically ill patients at the bedside, experience that taught me how deeply mental and physical health are connected. Today I also serve as a psychiatric provider in nursing and assisted living facilities, caring for patients with complex needs. As a father of two boys, I understand how important mental balance is for a full life. I believe true healing goes beyond medication — family support, nutrition, sleep, and whole-body wellness are all part of the plan we build together. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard. I don't just treat symptoms, I treat the whole person.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Winter Haven starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) also diagnose and prescribe, and are another option available through Headway. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, either provider type may be a good fit.
Winter Haven is part of Polk County, where demand for mental health care continues to rise across communities like Lakeland, Auburndale, Bartow, and Haines City. Virtual sessions can expand your options beyond providers located in your immediate area. When comparing providers, consider their specialty, session format, and whether their approach matches your preferences. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style before you book.
Psychiatry sessions can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs may vary based on your location and exact insurance coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
