Mental Health Care
Psychiatry
Board-certified psychiatric care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD — personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based.
Quick Answer
Haven Psychiatry provides physician-led psychiatric care in St. Petersburg, FL and by telemedicine anywhere in Florida. You are seen by a psychiatrist — Dr. Rachel McKenna or Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. — for evaluation and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more, usually within days rather than months.
Our Philosophy
Psychiatric Care That Sees the Whole You
At Haven Wellness, we believe mental health care should be as unique as the person receiving it. Our psychiatric team goes beyond managing symptoms — we work to understand the root causes of your challenges and build a comprehensive plan that supports lasting healing.
Our board-certified psychiatrists bring decades of training and deep expertise across a broad range of mental health conditions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a more personalized approach to care, Haven is your partner in this journey.
We also offer the latest integrative treatments — including Exomind (ExoTMS) for treatment-resistant depression — making Haven Wellness a truly comprehensive mental health practice.
Choose Your Psychiatrist
Haven's psychiatric care is led by two double board-certified psychiatrists: Dr. Rachel McKenna, who leads the team and cares for patients across the lifespan, and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O., who brings deep pediatric expertise. You have a choice of physician — and either way, you are seeing a doctor certified in adult and child and adolescent psychiatry.
A Flexible Way to Get Care
Telemedicine Psychiatry Visits
Life is busy, and mental health care shouldn't have to wait for a free afternoon. Alongside our in-person appointments, Haven Wellness offers secure, HIPAA-compliant telemedicine visits for psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up care — from wherever you are in Florida.
Telemedicine appointments offer the same personalized attention from Dr. Rachel McKenna or Dr. Alison Larson, D.O., without the commute — ideal for busy parents, students, and anyone who prefers care from home.

Common Questions
Psychiatry FAQ
How does payment and insurance work?
Coverage varies by plan, so call 813-567-5675 before you book and our team will walk through costs and payment options with you. What we will not do is compress your visit into a rushed medication check — evaluations are scheduled with real time.
How soon can I be seen?
New patient appointments are typically available within days rather than the months-long waits common at larger practices in Tampa Bay. You can see live availability on our booking page.
Do you offer telepsychiatry, or do I have to come to the office?
Both. Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Larson see patients in person in St. Petersburg and by secure video anywhere in Florida, so patients in Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota, Orlando, and beyond can be treated without the drive.
Who will I actually see — a psychiatrist or a nurse practitioner?
You are seen by a physician. Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. are both double board-certified in adult and child and adolescent psychiatry. Dr. Rachel McKenna leads the practice, and patients may choose either physician when scheduling.
What happens at a first psychiatric appointment?
A full diagnostic evaluation: your history, symptoms, prior treatments, medical background, and goals — not a symptom checklist. You leave with a working diagnosis and a specific plan, which may include medication, TMS, referrals for therapy, or lifestyle changes.
