Conditions We Treat
Depression Treatment in Florida
Our Florida psychiatrists specialize in treating major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, and treatment-resistant depression. Depression affects millions of Americans and can significantly impact your quality of life, relationships, and ability to function. Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and evidence-based medication management, we develop personalized treatment plans that address your unique symptoms and circumstances. We also consider lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management that influence depression recovery.
We provide expert treatment for the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting how you think, feel, and function in daily life.

Bipolar Disorder and Mood Disorder Specialists
Our experienced Florida psychiatrists provide comprehensive care for bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, cyclothymic disorder, and other mood disorders.

Our goal is to help you achieve stability, reduce mood episodes, and improve your overall quality of life.

Our Holistic Approach to Mental Wellness
Whole-Person Psychiatry That Goes Beyond Medication
At Ascend Psychiatry and Wellness, we understand that mental health is influenced by more than just brain chemistry. While psychiatric medications are often a critical part of treatment, they work best when combined with healthy lifestyle practices. We take a holistic, integrative approach—considering not only your symptoms but also your daily habits, environment, nutrition, and physical health.
Lifestyle Factors That Support Mental Health
Nutrition and Mental Wellness
What you eat directly impacts how you feel. Our psychiatrists provide guidance on nutrition that supports brain function, including omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and certain nuts, complex carbohydrates for stable blood sugar and mood, leafy greens and whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and strategies to reduce inflammation and processed food intake. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in managing depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
Exercise and Physical Activity
Movement is medicine for mental health. Even light physical activity can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve sleep quality, boost focus and cognitive function, and increase motivation and energy levels. We help you set realistic exercise goals that fit your current fitness level and lifestyle, recognizing that any movement is beneficial for mental wellness.
Sleep Hygiene and Mental Health
Quality sleep is foundational to mental clarity and emotional stability. Poor sleep worsens virtually every psychiatric condition. We help you improve your sleep routines and habits, address insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, reduce overstimulation from screens, caffeine, or substances, and establish consistent sleep-wake schedules. Better sleep leads to better mental health outcomes.
Stress Management and Daily Structure
Small changes in your daily routine can yield significant improvements in mood and functioning. We support you in developing mindfulness or relaxation techniques, time management and scheduling strategies, identifying triggers and behavioral patterns, and building structure that supports mental wellness.
Integrated Psychiatry and Allergy Services
A Unique Approach to Mental and Physical Health
Ascend Psychiatry and Wellness offers a distinctive integrated model that combines psychiatric care with allergy and immunology services. Our expert Allergist and Immunologist, Dr. Farah Khan, works closely with our psychiatric providers to address underlying medical issues that may contribute to mental health symptoms or interfere with treatment outcomes.
The Connection Between Allergies, Inflammation, and Mental Health
Research increasingly demonstrates that chronic allergies and systemic inflammation can significantly impact mental health. Allergic conditions and immune dysregulation may affect energy levels and contribute to chronic fatigue, interfere with sleep quality and cause insomnia, impair mood regulation and emotional stability, contribute to brain fog and cognitive difficulties, and exacerbate anxiety related to chronic health conditions. Identifying and managing these underlying factors can enhance the effectiveness of psychiatric treatment and improve your overall well-being.
Allergy and Immunology Services
Dr. Khan provides comprehensive allergy testing through blood tests for environmental allergens including pollen, mold, dust mites, and pet dander, as well as food allergy testing to identify potential dietary triggers. She also manages chronic sinus and respiratory symptoms including asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic cough, evaluates food sensitivities that may cause digestive or mood-related symptoms, and provides immune support and inflammation reduction for patients with chronic immune activation.
Coordinated, Integrated Care
If your Florida psychiatrist suspects that allergies, chronic inflammation, or immune issues may be contributing to your psychiatric symptoms, a referral to Dr. Khan can be made within our practice. This integrated model ensures continuity of care, faster coordination between specialties, seamless communication between your providers, and comprehensive treatment plans addressing all factors affecting your health. You won't need to seek care elsewhere or coordinate between multiple disconnected practices.
We accept Optum, Cigna, and Aetna insurance plans for psychiatric services. Most insurance companies cover telepsychiatry at the same rate as in-person psychiatric appointments. Please contact our office for information about insurance coverage for allergy and immunology services.
