No shortage of providers. A shortage of ones you can afford.

Miami is not short of psychiatric practices. It is short of ones that will tell you what a visit costs before you arrive, and Florida has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country — so a great many people here are paying out of pocket whether they planned to or not.

Concierge and boutique psychiatry is common in Miami-Dade, and prices reflect it. A first evaluation paid out of pocket routinely lands between $250 and $500, with follow-ups of $100 to $250, and often nobody quotes the number until after the appointment.

I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Florida. Flat pricing, published on this page: $175 for a full first hour, $65 for each follow-up, charged after the visit.

What psychiatric care costs in Miami without insurance

Published on purpose. Not knowing the number is the single most common reason people never book.

VisitPrice
New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler$175
Follow-up visit — 20 minutes$65
Typical Miami-area private psychiatrist, first visit, out of pocket$250–$500
Typical follow-up, out of pocket$100–$250

Payment is collected after your appointment, not when you book. A valid card is kept securely on file and charged once the visit is complete. No insurance is billed, so there is no deductible to meet and no surprise bill weeks later.

Medication management, plainly priced

Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — started, adjusted, and reassessed properly rather than refilled forever.

I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. Florida has a great many telehealth practices built around exactly that; this isn’t one of them.

If you’ve been paying a subscription or a membership on top of visit fees, it’s worth comparing. There is no membership here — you pay for appointments you actually have.

No. Every visit is cash-pay: $175 for the first 60-minute appointment and $65 per 20-minute follow-up, charged after the visit rather than at booking.
Is there a membership or subscription fee?
No. You pay for the appointments you have and nothing else.
Do you see people across Miami-Dade and Broward?
Yes, and anywhere else in Florida. Telehealth makes the location irrelevant.
How soon can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen within a week, with no referral.
Can you prescribe Adderall or Xanax?
No. I don’t prescribe controlled substances at all.
