Innovative Treatment Approach

- Telehealth convenience: HIPAA-compliant virtual appointments for busy professionals and students
- Holistic wellness focus: Addressing sleep, diet, exercise, and lifestyle factors alongside traditional treatment
"Mental health isn't just about prescriptions, it's about empowering people to reclaim balance in their lives," explained Dr. Velazquez. "Our integrated model combines advanced psychiatric knowledge with genuine human connection."
Enhanced Digital Platform
The practice's new website platform streamlines access to care with features including:
- Simplified online scheduling for both in-person and telehealth appointments
- Educational resources about mental health conditions and treatment options
- Secure patient communication portal
- Insurance verification tools
Addressing Local Mental Health Gaps
The expansion specifically targets underserved areas including Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, and Kendall, where access to specialized psychiatric care has been limited.
"Too many people are bounced between providers or dismissed without truly being heard," noted Brenda Rivas. "We're changing that by building real relationships and taking time to understand each patient's full picture."
Evidence-Based, Personalized Care
Equilibrium Mental Health Services treats a comprehensive range of conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. The practice serves adolescents, adults, and seniors with specialized programs for women's mental health, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and professionals experiencing burnout.
The practice operates on a transparent, fee-for-service model and accepts most major commercial and marketplace insurance plans, with no hidden fees or surprise billing.
