Quick Answer
Largo patients see Dr. Rachel McKenna or Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. at Haven Psychiatry & Wellness on Pinellas Bayway South, reached from Largo via Seminole Boulevard or I-275 south to the Pinellas Bayway. Evaluations and early medication adjustments are done in person; established patients can move routine follow-ups to secure telemedicine.
Largo Patients
Why Largo Comes to Haven
Largo sits in the middle of Pinellas County, which should make finding a psychiatrist easy and, in practice, does not. Patients from the Ridgecrest and Highpoint areas and from the neighborhoods off West Bay Drive describe the same experience: therapy is available locally, but a physician who prescribes, evaluates children as well as adults, and has an opening in the next few weeks is not.
Haven's two psychiatrists — Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. — are both double board-certified in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry. For a Largo household that often means one practice for everyone: a parent managing anxiety or ADHD and a middle-schooler being evaluated for the first time can see the same physician, who then sees the family picture rather than two disconnected charts.
Largo patients tend to come to Haven for the evaluation and the first few visits, then keep the relationship going by secure video. Because the drive down the Bayway is the main cost of choosing a practice outside your own city, we structure care so that the trips you make are the ones that need a physician in the room.
Haven's psychiatric team provides evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, autism, and more, with Exomind TMS and Spravato available for treatment-resistant depression. Full detail on conditions treated and the evaluation process is on the Psychiatry page.
Who You'll See
Dr. McKenna leads Haven's psychiatric team and treats patients across the lifespan; Dr. Larson brings pediatric and adolescent expertise. You choose which physician you see, and keep that physician for follow-up care.

What's Different
Worth the Drive from Largo
One practice for the whole household
Both of Haven's psychiatrists treat children, teens, and adults, so Largo families are not split between a pediatric office and an adult office on opposite ends of the county.
Evaluation in person, follow-ups by video
After the initial evaluation and early adjustments, most Largo patients handle medication management by secure telemedicine, reserving the Bayway drive for the visits that benefit from it.
Treatment-resistant options on site
If first-line medication has not worked, Haven offers Exomind TMS and Spravato under the same psychiatric team — Largo patients are not referred out to a separate clinic to access them.

Common Questions
Psychiatry in Largo — FAQ
Which route from Largo to Haven is fastest?
Seminole Boulevard to Park Boulevard and I-275 south is the most common; US-19 to I-275 works from east Largo. Travel time varies with traffic, so many patients choose an early or late appointment.
Can a parent and a child from the same Largo family both be seen?
Yes. Both Dr. McKenna and Dr. Larson are board-certified in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, so family members can see the same physician or each choose their own.
Can follow-up visits be done without the drive?
Yes. Once you are an established patient, medication management and check-in visits can typically be done by secure telemedicine from anywhere in Florida, so the drive is usually only needed for the visits where being in the room matters.
What should I bring to a first psychiatric evaluation?
A list of current medications and past psychiatric medications, any prior evaluations or school reports for a child, and a short note on what prompted the appointment. The evaluation itself is a full clinical interview, not a checklist.
