Specialized Care. Simplified Access. Sustainable Results.

Not “just” anxiety. Not necessarily anxiety alone.
We believe that anxiety should never be dismissed or minimized. It is a legitimate and treatable medical condition with symptoms that can overlap with, and intensify, other concerns, including ADHD, mood disorders, substance misuse, and trauma-related conditions. Research also demonstrates that chronic anxiety can affect physical health, contributing to cardiovascular strain, gastrointestinal distress, chronic pain, and metabolic conditions.
While we provide specialized behavioral health care, we recognize both the prevalence and the complexity of anxiety—particularly when it overlaps with ADHD.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that anxiety affects approximately 20% of adults each year, making it one of the most common mental health conditions. However, anxiety rarely exists in isolation. In many high-functioning adolescents and adults, chronic worry, overthinking, and physical tension may actually coexist with other concerns.
The Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) highlights that anxiety is one of the most common co-occurring conditions in adults with ADHD. When ADHD goes unrecognized, the constant effort to compensate—missing details, managing time, masking distractibility—can create persistent stress that presents as anxiety. Treating anxiety alone in these cases may provide partial relief without addressing the root cause.
At CenterMark Health, we assess whether anxiety is primary, secondary, or intertwined with ADHD and other factors—so treatment is strategic, not surface-level. Whether anxiety stands alone or exists alongside attention and executive function challenges, care is individualized, evidence-based, and designed to restore clarity, resilience, and long-term stability.

Our Philosophy
Our philosophy prioritizes personalized care tailored to the distinct needs of every client. We strive to empower clients to take ownership of their journey and make informed decisions that promote wellness of mind, body, and spirit. Individualized treatment plans are utilized to create a supportive and non judgemental environment to identify distortions in thought, behavior, and emotion.
Appointments
We offer convenient telehealth appointments in Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, and West Virginia as well as in-person visits in the Tampa Bay area.
Finding mental health support can be difficult. Finding the RIGHT support can feel even harder.
At CenterMark Health, we believe everyone deserves thoughtful, individualized support — and that mental health care is about more than fixing what feels wrong. It’s about understanding the whole picture, feeling well, and having the clarity and support to live the life that matters to you. Whether you are seeking answers for the first time, refining an existing diagnosis, or looking for a more thoughtful and individualized approach, we offer comprehensive care grounded in careful evaluation and long-term strategy.
Women, especially those who are high functioning, are more likely to experience inadequate anxiety treatment, undiagnosed ADHD, and misdiagnosed depression, which can result in the use of panic and fear of failure to complete tasks and masking to hide symptoms. Emotional dysregulation and internal distress increases the risk of utilizing maladaptive coping mechanisms, including emotional suppression, inappropriate avoidance, nicotine, alcohol, prescriptions, and other substances, to cope. – National Institutes of Health (NIH)
We work with high-performing adults and adolescents to develop precise, sustainable treatment plans that support cognitive clarity, productivity, and emotional regulation — without overmedication or the “zombie” effect that can suppress personality and creativity. Our approach prioritizes functional improvement in real life: at work, at home, and in high-performance environments.
While anxiety and ADHD are central to our practice, we also have experience supporting individuals navigating performance tension, problematic use, burnout, isolation, and imposter syndrome — which are not official diagnoses but common psychological experiences among high-achievers.
We explore treatment options together, recognizing that medication is rarely the only part of meaningful care. Holistic care includes attention to physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being—but you decide what feels relevant and when.
Here, whole-person care means making space for every part of who you are. We meet you where you are, respect your priorities and boundaries, and build care around what matters most to you.
Our Services
Medication Management
Medication can be a useful tool, but it is rarely the entire solution. We provide thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing that prioritizes safety, effectiveness, and precision. Treatment plans are carefully monitored and adjusted to optimize outcomes while minimizing side effects, ensuring medications support—not complicate—your daily life and long-term goals.
Anxiety
Anxiety can manifest as persistent worry, physical tension, overthinking, or avoidance. Treatment integrates therapeutic strategies and, when indicated, medication to reduce distress, restore calm, and improve resilience in both professional and personal life.
ADHD
ADHD may present as challenges with focus, organization, follow-through, impulsivity, or internal restlessness. Comprehensive care includes careful evaluation, skill-building strategies, and when appropriate, medication to improve clarity, productivity, and daily functioning—especially for high-performing adults and women with late diagnosis.
Your Health. Your Priorities. Your Care.
At CenterMark Health, we believe accessing meaningful mental health care should be straightforward, transparent, and centered around what matters to you.
We are in-network with select major insurance plans through trusted third-party contractors. Insurance verification, eligibility, and billing are managed through the contractor’s secure platform, helping simplify the process from the start. Simply enter your insurance information here to receive an estimate of your benefits and expected cost.
Choose the Path That Works for You
Insurance can be a convenient way to use your available benefits and may help reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Self-pay provides an alternate means to access care and may be especially appealing to those interested in greater privacy, flexibility, and control over their care. A superbill can be provided for clients who wish to pursue potential out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance plan.

With self-pay:
- You have greater privacy. When you choose not to bill insurance, your care does not need to be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. This can mean less sharing of your mental health information with an insurer as part of the claims process.
- You have more control over your care. Your treatment is based on your clinical needs and goals rather than insurance coverage requirements, authorization criteria, or limitations on covered services.
- You know what to expect. Our private-pay fees are transparent, so you can understand the cost of care before your appointment without waiting for an insurance claim to be processed.
- You have greater flexibility. Self-pay can eliminate the need for insurance-specific prior authorizations and other coverage-related steps that may delay care.
- You can choose care based on what matters to you. Insurance coverage does not determine which aspects of your mental health or whole-person well-being are most important to explore together.
Transparent Processes. Clear Expectations.
When using insurance, fees and reimbursement are determined by your individual insurance benefits and are not guaranteed by CenterMark Health.
Appointments are reserved exclusively for you. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice and missed appointments are subject to a $150 fee. Appointments scheduled within 24 hours cannot be cancelled.
Whether you choose insurance or self-pay, the goal is the same: exceptional, individualized mental health care with a process that respects your time, privacy, and choices.
