I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, individualized, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your treatment.
I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals. When appropriate, I also consider factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical health, and laboratory findings that may be contributing to how you feel.
Medication can be an important tool, but it’s only one part of mental health care. Together, we’ll develop a practical treatment plan focused on helping you feel better, function better, and improve your overall quality of life.
Hello, I'm Rejith Kumaran, APRN, PMHNP-BC, MSN, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents and adults. I treat ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions through personalized medication management and supportive therapy. I prescribe Stimulant/Non-Stimulant medications for appropriately diagnosed ADHD when clinically indicated. My practice focuses on general outpatient psychiatry, and I generally do not provide ongoing management of chronic benzodiazepines, opioid pain medications, methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), or other medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. My goal is to deliver safe, collaborative, patient-centered care that supports lasting mental wellness.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding psychiatrists in Fort Lauderdale starts with understanding the kind of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of mental health care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you separately or alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, approach, and background to see how their training matches your needs.
Fort Lauderdale has a mix of in-person and virtual psychiatry options, including care near areas like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby communities such as Plantation and Pembroke Pines. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling fit can make a meaningful difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios before booking can help you understand session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details, compare estimated session costs, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
