About

I’m Frank Rodell, an ANCC certified Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been educated and trained as both a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a Mental Health Therapist. I received my Master’s Degree in Nursing from the University of South Florida and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from George Williams College. I have years of experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings working with adults with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I strive to treat my patients with care and concern, using evidence-based treatment practices so they may resolve issues and return to a healthy lifestyle.

Initially, all patients receive a complete psychiatric evaluation. If medications are prescribed, they are done so in a thoughtful, effective manner. Follow up visits are then scheduled to monitor and assess the treatment effectiveness. Medication or treatment adjustments are made as needed. In addition to medication, issues related to your life circumstances can be addressed through brief psychotherapy.

My patients are seen in person or through telepsychiatry. There are advantages and disadvantages to either option, which manner of visit best suited for you can be decided when your appointment is scheduled.

I generally have my appointments Monday through Friday, regular business hours, but I realize that for some people evening hours or weekends would be preferred.  Therefore, evening and weekend hours available as well. Call the office for a time that suits your needs.  Additionally, I set aside times throughout the week for emergencies if any of my patients need to be seen urgently.
