Quick Answer
Pinellas Park patients see Dr. Rachel McKenna or Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. at Haven Psychiatry & Wellness on Pinellas Bayway South, a direct run down I-275 from the Park Boulevard or Gandy interchanges to the Pinellas Bayway exit. Both physicians are double board-certified in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, and follow-up visits can move to secure telemedicine once care is established.

Why Pinellas Park Comes to Haven
Pinellas Park sits right on I-275, which makes Haven one of the more practical psychiatric options for the city even though the office is on Tierra Verde: it is one highway, one exit, and a short run down the Bayway. Patients from the Mainlands, from the neighborhoods around Park Boulevard, and from Lealman and Kenneth City just over the line use exactly that route.
What Pinellas Park patients are usually looking for is a psychiatrist rather than another counselor — someone who can complete a diagnostic evaluation, prescribe, and follow the medication closely. Dr. Rachel McKenna and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. are both double board-certified in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, so the same practice covers a retiree in the Mainlands, a working parent, and a child being evaluated for ADHD.
After the evaluation and early adjustments, most Pinellas Park patients move routine medication management to secure telemedicine. The I-275 drive is easy, but it does not need to happen every month.
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.

Pinellas Park is on I-275; Haven's exit is the same highway a few miles south. There is no cross-county surface-street slog.
Adult and child psychiatry in one practice
Both of Haven's psychiatrists are double board-certified, so Pinellas Park families are not split between separate adult and pediatric offices.
Follow-ups by secure video
Once care is established, most Pinellas Park patients handle medication checks by telemedicine and drive down only for visits that benefit from being in the room.
