Pillar two of four
Where mental and physical care meet.
Psychiatric care that remembers who you are.
Most psychiatry today is a 15-minute refill window with a different face every visit. At Ascend, Anna Stouffer, PMHNP is dual-board-certified in family AND psychiatric care — meaning she understands how mental health interacts with hormones, sleep, medications, and chronic conditions in ways psychiatry-only providers cannot.
60-minute first visits. Saturday appointments. Telehealth statewide. In-network with 9 insurers. You'll see the same provider every time.

The Ascend approach
Medicine that knows your whole picture.
Anna's dual certification is what sets Ascend psychiatry apart. Most psychiatric providers only see mental health. Anna sees mental health AND how it intersects with physical health — hormones, sleep, chronic conditions, and the medications managing them.
That means when you come in for depression management, she isn't just evaluating your mood. She's looking at the full picture: your thyroid, your sleep quality, your current medication load, your life context. This is psychiatry the way it was always supposed to be practiced.
No rushed 15-minute refill visits. No different provider every time. No disconnected system where your PCP doesn't know what your psychiatrist just changed. At Ascend, your care team communicates — because they work in the same building.
What sets us apart
Psychiatry done properly.
Four non-negotiables we built Ascend psychiatry around — because we were tired of care that felt like a conveyor belt.
Same provider, every visit.
Continuity of care is not optional. You'll see Anna Stouffer from your initial evaluation through every follow-up — building a relationship that actually allows your care to improve over time, not start over each visit.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
What happens during a first psychiatric visit?
Your first visit is a 60-minute comprehensive evaluation. Anna reviews your full history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. She'll discuss treatment options and — if appropriate — start a medication plan. No one is prescribed anything without understanding the full picture first.
Can I do my psychiatric visits via telehealth?
Yes. Anna provides telehealth psychiatric care to patients anywhere in the state of Florida via HIPAA-secure video. Follow-up visits are especially well-suited to virtual appointments.
Do you prescribe controlled substances?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Anna prescribes stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other controlled medications based on thorough evaluation and ongoing monitoring. She follows evidence-based prescribing guidelines and monitors all patients closely.
How is Ascend different from Talkiatry or other online psychiatry platforms?
Ascend is a local practice with real offices, not a national template. You see the same provider every visit. Your psychiatric care is integrated with primary care, therapy, and wellness under one roof — so your providers actually talk to each other. And you're not just a screen to us.
Do you treat children and teenagers?
Anna sees adolescents and adults. For younger children, we may recommend a specialist and can help coordinate that referral.
