Quick Answer
Seminole patients see Dr. Rachel McKenna or Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. at Haven Psychiatry & Wellness on Pinellas Bayway South, reached from Seminole via Park Boulevard and 66th Street south to 54th Avenue South and the Bayway, or down Gulf Boulevard through the beach towns. Both physicians treat adults, teens, and children, and established patients can move follow-ups to secure telemedicine.

Why Seminole Comes to Haven
Seminole is a family town — Seminole Lake, Oakhurst, the neighborhoods around the Seminole City Center — and the psychiatric need that surfaces most often is for a child or teen evaluation that does not involve a months-long wait or a drive to Tampa. Haven's two psychiatrists are both double board-certified in adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, and Dr. Alison Larson, D.O. in particular sees a large number of pediatric patients from west Pinellas.
Adults from Seminole come for the same reason in a different form: a physician who evaluates, prescribes, and follows the medication closely, rather than a counseling office that has to refer out for anything involving a prescription. Dr. Rachel McKenna leads the team and treats patients across the lifespan.
The drive from Seminole runs south on 66th Street or down the beach road, and after the evaluation and early adjustments most Seminole patients switch routine medication management to secure video. The in-person visits are reserved for the moments a physician needs to see you 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 Seminole
Child and teen psychiatry without the wait to Tampa
Both of Haven's psychiatrists are board-certified in child & adolescent psychiatry, so Seminole families do not need to cross the bay to find a physician who evaluates children.
A physician who prescribes and follows
Seminole adults see a psychiatrist who completes the evaluation, manages the medication, and adjusts it — not a counselor who refers out for prescriptions.
Follow-ups from home
Once care is established, most Seminole patients handle medication checks by secure telemedicine and drive down only for the visits that benefit from it.

Common Questions
Psychiatry in Seminole — FAQ
What is the best route from Seminole to Haven?
Park Boulevard to 66th Street south, then 54th Avenue South west onto the Pinellas Bayway is the usual surface route. From the beach side, Gulf Boulevard south to the Bayway is a direct alternative. Traffic decides which is faster on a given day.
Do you evaluate children and teenagers from Seminole?
Yes. Both Dr. McKenna and Dr. Larson are board-certified in child and adolescent psychiatry, and parents are part of the evaluation process.
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.
Is a referral required?
No referral is required to schedule a psychiatric evaluation. Bring your medication history and, for a child, any school reports or prior evaluations.
