Sometimes it’s hard to feel like we’re in control over our health.

We don’t choose to get sick or get well – and with healthcare providers controlling our options, we often don’t choose the course of our treatment, either.  While it’s absolutely essential to have health insurance, it’s nice to have the option of choosing treatment unaffected by your insurance provider’s preferences and budget.  Especially when it comes to your mental health: in tending to prefer cheaper and less time-consuming drug therapies, healthcare providers unintentionally deny patients the opportunity to treat the underlying problem with safer and long-term talk therapy.

As an independent psychiatrist Fort Lauderdale therapist Dr. Devra Mintz provides her patients with the opportunity to make choices about their treatment – listening to their concerns and allowing them to choose the path of their therapy.  Her dedication to informing her patients about all positive and negative aspects of their treatment extends from therapy sessions to treatment options to their concerns over medication and prescriptions.  By not participating in managed care or insurance networks, she and her patients retain the freedom to choose a treatment as they see fit.

Dr. Mintz’s passion and respect for her patients’ well-being shows in her work – for more information on her practice and services, visit her website.
