Why Choose Telehealth Psychiatry in Florida
Florida faces a significant psychiatrist shortage, particularly in rural counties and among seniors — a population that disproportionately avoids seeking mental health care when it requires travel. Dr. Hovav’s telehealth practice removes those barriers entirely. Her conservative, evidence-based approach and psychotherapeutic style are especially well-suited to Florida’s diverse patient population, including older adults managing cognitive and mood changes, working families navigating high cost-of-living stress, and individuals recovering from trauma including hurricane-related PTSD.

Quality Telemedicine Psychiatry Care
I had gone to three psychiatrist prior to Dr. Hovav. With those three I was misdiagnosed, treated like a child and not given much thought. However, when I began seeing Dr. Hovav I immediately felt understood and received incredible care. I got onto a medicine that worked immediately and have been feeling better every day ever since. I could not recommend her more!
