Our Psychiatric Services in Fort Lauderdale
At One Stop Psych, we offer a wide range of psychiatric services, customized to support your mental health at every phase of your life.
Every plan starts with a full evaluation, and we go over it with you again at each follow-up.
What We Offer in Fort Lauderdale
Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management
Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation covering your symptoms, history, current medications and goals. If medication is part of your plan, your provider will explain the options, start at a careful dose and adjust it during follow-up visits. Our outpatient psychiatry fits around work, school and family life.
ADHD Assessments
We evaluate attention, focus and impulsivity concerns in children, teens and adults, and build a plan that can include medication, behavioral strategies and school or work accommodations. Learn more about our ADHD treatment.
Therapy
Our licensed therapists provide psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress and life transitions. Therapy can be scheduled on its own or alongside medication management.
Addiction Treatment, Suboxone and Outpatient Detox
We treat alcohol and opioid use disorders with medication-assisted treatment (Suboxone/MAT), outpatient detox, counseling and aftercare planning, so you can recover without a hospital stay. See our substance use treatment page for details.
Care for Children, Teens, Adults and Older Adults
We see patients age 6 and older, from children and teens to adults and older adults, including those managing late-life depression, memory concerns or several medications at once.
