Meet with an experienced, Florida-licensed psychiatrist through secure video visits — comprehensive evaluations, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment for adults ages 18–80 located anywhere in Florida.
Online psychiatry — sometimes called telepsychiatry — is the delivery of psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment through secure, real-time video appointments. As a patient located in Florida, you can meet with a Florida-licensed psychiatrist from your home, your office, or anywhere you have privacy and a reliable internet connection.
At Mind & Soul Therapy, online psychiatry mirrors the depth of an in-person visit. Your appointments are unhurried, your treatment is personalized, and you see the same clinician over time — genuine continuity of care rather than the rotating-provider, prescription-first model that defines many large telehealth services.
These terms are often used interchangeably, and for good reason — they describe the same thing. An online psychiatrist is simply a licensed psychiatrist who meets with you via secure video rather than in an exam room. Telepsychiatry is the broader field of delivering psychiatric care at a distance.
What matters isn't the term but the quality behind it: a board-certified psychiatrist taking the time to understand you as a whole person, building a treatment plan around your life, and following up consistently. That's the standard we hold to for every patient we see throughout Florida.
Your online psychiatry appointments are provided by Dr. Mariela Padro, MD — a board-certified psychiatrist and Co-Founder of Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture, trained as Chief Resident at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She provides telehealth evaluations, medication management, and ongoing psychiatric care to patients located throughout Florida.
Dr. Padro takes an integrative approach — considering sleep, stress, lifestyle, hormonal factors, and medical contributors alongside conventional psychiatric care. You can learn more about her training and treatment philosophy on her provider profile.
Effective psychiatric care rarely comes from a brief conversation and a prescription. Our evaluations are thorough by design. When you meet with your online psychiatrist, your assessment may consider:
Our Florida-licensed psychiatrist provides telehealth care for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic disorder, OCD, mood disorders, sleep difficulties, and stress-related conditions. Treatment is tailored to the individual — some patients benefit from medication, others from therapy, and many from a thoughtful combination.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation, conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform that works on any phone, tablet, or computer. Your psychiatrist explores your history, symptoms, and goals in depth, then discusses findings and a personalized plan. When medication is appropriate, prescriptions are sent electronically to your pharmacy.
Follow-up visits take place on a schedule suited to your needs, allowing your clinician to monitor your progress and refine your treatment over time. Because you see the same psychiatrist at every visit, your care stays consistent and responsive — the foundation of meaningful, lasting improvement.
If you're located in Florida, online psychiatry may be a good fit whether you live in Miami or hours from the nearest specialist. It's especially valuable for patients with busy schedules, those who find travel difficult, people who travel within the state and want continuity of care, and anyone in an area with limited access to specialized psychiatric services.
And because Mind & Soul Therapy has a physical office in South Miami, patients in the area can also choose in-person services when clinically appropriate — combining the convenience of telehealth with the option of face-to-face care.
Your online psychiatrist is Dr. Mariela Padro, MD — a board-certified psychiatrist and Co-Founder of Mind & Soul Therapy, who sees telehealth patients located throughout Florida. You can learn more about her training and integrative approach on her provider page.

We are not a high-volume online medication service. Each appointment is unhurried, each plan is individualized, and each patient works with a dedicated clinician committed to their long-term well-being. When appropriate, we take an integrative view — considering sleep, stress, lifestyle, hormones, and medical contributors alongside conventional psychiatric care.
The result is thoughtful, comprehensive care designed for lasting improvement rather than temporary symptom relief — delivered securely to eligible patients throughout Florida. That's the Mind & Soul approach, available wherever in the state you call home.
Personalized telehealth care for patients throughout Florida.
We know starting therapy or psychiatry can feel intimidating. Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises, no pressure.
Call 305-456-1014 or book online. Our team verifies your insurance and finds a time that works for you — often same-week.
Before your visit, you'll complete a brief intake form covering your symptoms, history, medications, and goals. This helps us prepare for your appointment.
Your provider conducts a thorough evaluation — not a rushed 15-minute check. We explore your mental health history, lifestyle, hormones, sleep, and physical health to identify root causes.
Together, you and your provider build a personalized plan — which may include therapy, medication, TMS, acupuncture, BHRT, or lifestyle changes. No two plans are alike.
We schedule follow-ups to track your progress and adjust your plan. Most patients begin noticing improvement within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment.
