Quick Answer
South St. Petersburg patients see Haven's double board-certified psychiatrists — Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. — either at our Tierra Verde office or by secure video when eligible. We treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD and autism spectrum concerns in adults, teens and children.
South St. Petersburg Patients
Why South St. Petersburg Comes to Haven
South St. Petersburg's Community Redevelopment Area spans nearly 4,777 acres, including Greater Childs Park and more than twenty neighborhood and business associations. Haven adds a nearby physician-led option for adults, teens, and children seeking psychiatric evaluation, with secure video available when clinically appropriate.
Haven is a small, two-psychiatrist practice by design. Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. conduct their own evaluations and their own follow-ups — you are not screened by one clinician and handed off to another for medication management, and you are not managed between visits by an app or a rotating on-call provider.
For patients in the Childs Park, Bartlett Park, and Campbell Park neighborhoods that make up the CRA, the trip south to Tierra Verde by I-275 and the Pinellas Bayway is straightforward, and secure video visits are available for follow-ups once your care plan is established — so the drive is not something you have to repeat for every appointment.
Haven provides psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, eating disorders, autism spectrum concerns and psychotic disorders. Condition-by-condition detail is on the Psychiatry page.
Who You'll See
Both physicians are licensed in Florida and personally conduct their own evaluations and follow-up visits, in person and by telehealth.

From the South St. Petersburg CRA, take 4th Street South or I-275 south, then the Pinellas Bayway (SR 682) west and continue on Pinellas Bayway South (SR 679) into Tierra Verde. Video visits are available across Florida once eligibility is established.
Use the I-275 and Pinellas Bayway route. Many patients handle the first evaluation in person and shift eligible follow-ups to video.
Free parking directly outside Suite 102, with no garage and no fee — a small thing that matters on a first psychiatric visit.

What's Different
Worth the Drive from South St. Petersburg
Weeks, not months
New-patient evaluations are typically available within days. That is a direct result of keeping the practice small, and it is the reason most South St. Petersburg families first call us.
You see a physician, every time
Both providers are board-certified psychiatrists who conduct their own evaluations and follow-ups. Dr. Larson is double board-certified in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry.
In-person options when they matter
If your care would benefit from ExoMind TMS therapy, it is delivered at the Tierra Verde office, so patients who start on video are never stuck at the edge of what a screen can do.
