Melanie Key

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Florida


As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have extensive experience treating adults in both outpatient and residential settings and provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for conditions including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. My practice is built on a collaborative, patient-centered approach. Together, we will develop an individualized treatment plan focused on resilience, personal growth, and lasting wellness. I believe in responsible, evidence-based prescribing and thoughtful diagnostic evaluation. ADHD treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment, and when appropriate, psychological testing or supporting documentation may be required to confirm the diagnosis before stimulant medication is considered. Additionally, my practice does not routinely prescribe benzodiazepines for the treatment of anxiety or insomnia. Instead, I focus on treatments that have strong evidence for long-term effectiveness and safety, including psychotherapy referrals, lifestyle interventions, and non-benzodiazepine medication options when appropriate. My goal is to partner with individuals who are committed to improving their mental health and actively participating in their treatment journey. Whether you are seeking relief from symptoms, greater emotional resilience, or a path toward lasting recovery, I look forward to working with you. If you are ready to invest in your mental wellness, I invite you to schedule a virtual consultation. Together, we can create a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Happy patient looking away

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 Tampa

Finding the right psychiatrist in Tampa starts with understanding what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and offer a different kind of support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want to address.

Tampa has psychiatrists across areas like South Tampa, Hyde Park, Downtown, and nearby parts of Tampa Bay, with both in-person and virtual appointment options. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, scheduling fit, and follow-up cadence matter. 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 communication style, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.

Psychiatry in Tampa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
