At-home mental health care for Florida seniors and adults

Help for whatever you're carrying
Depression, dementia, or just a season that's been hard to carry: finding care shouldn't mean pushing through or being passed from one person to the next. We bring care to older adults across Florida, connecting care services around individual needs, preferences, and goals.
Sometimes you just need someone who really listens. Our licensed therapists take the time to understand what you're going through and stay with you as you work through it. Sessions happen by phone or video, and we'll help with the tech if you need a hand.
If medication might help, our psychiatrists work with you and your existing doctors to make sure your mental and physical health are both fully supported.
We hold all the pieces together so you have less to juggle and more room to focus on feeling well. Your coordinator manages scheduling and reminders, finds answers to your questions, and keeps your other providers informed.
Call us or send your information
Reach out by phone or fill out the short form. You don't need a referral, and you don't need to have everything figured out before you call. We'll take it from there.
We check your coverage and set up support on the spot
Your team of nurse practitioner, social worker, therapist, psychiatrist, and more coordinate your services so you have less stress and everyone is on the same page in supporting your goals.
You're connected with your care team
Save travel time and fit your appointments into your schedule with convenient phone or video meetings, from wherever you're most comfortable. If you need help getting set up, we'll come to you with local support.
Many Florida residents have little if any out-of-pocket costs for our services
Author Health focuses on cognitive and mental health care made for older adults. Many Medicare Advantage and Special Needs Plans available in Florida cover our services in full. We confirm your coverage before your first appointment, so you always know what to expect.

Real stories from real people
A single conversation was the start of feeling better.
"The office staff is always attentive to my needs, answering questions and promptly returning phone calls. Sessions have been extremely helpful. If I need prescriptions or advice about medications, I simply call to make an appointment. I have been seeing therapists off and on since I was 18, and I have never received such supportive and compassionate care!"

"I’ve seen many therapists in my past with little to no success. With Author Health’s great team, the CBT sessions, and the tools I have acquired to help me, I finally have my life back and can enjoy living in the present."

"I have a great team who takes pride in their work, and I trust completely. I feel that my team sincerely cares about me. I'm not afraid to call you when I'm stressed beyond control. I feel that I am truly blessed to have this group in my corner."

“Author Health has helped me through tough times and was there for me when my family and I were homeless. I highly recommend this team. Thanks to them, I’m where I am today.”
Author Health Patient
“The care Author Health has provided is very difficult to come by in this day and age. I look forward to my appointments instead of with dread, knowing my best interests are your intentions.”
Author Health Patient
“Author Health has exceeded my expectations in every way. From excellent organization and client care to helpful counselors, I am very pleased.”

“Before I got involved with Author, I was a mess. Sometimes I didn’t take my medication, I wasn’t eating, my stomach hurt, my heart was going 100 miles an hour and I felt it in my throat. My doctor at Author gave me peace in my heart and in my mind—he gave me hope. I feel safe. I feel like I have someone that really cares.”

“I am making much better progress at this time and am extremely pleased and thankful that I am receiving the appropriate support and care that I was so desperately in need of. I am truly grateful.”

"Depression thrives on isolation and negative thought loops. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation, we help clients reframe harmful thinking and safely re-engage with the activities, people, and experiences that bring genuine joy back to life."

"While medication management for Bipolar Disorder is crucial, evidence-based therapy provides the daily blueprint for stability. By identifying early triggers and building structured routines, we help clients minimize the highs and lows to achieve a steady, balanced baseline."
"Alzheimer's and dementia touch far more than the patient — they reshape the whole family. At Author, we build care around that reality, supporting patients and caregivers together, because no one should have to carry this alone."
"Sustainable recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) requires treating the whole person, not just the symptom. Using trauma-informed care and individualized treatment plans, we empower clients to heal underlying wounds, leverage community support, and build a resilient foundation for long-term sobriety."
"Loss doesn't get easier to carry with age — if anything, grief in later life often arrives layered with health changes, loneliness, or losses stacked close together. That weight is real, and it's normal. But it doesn't have to be permanent. With the right support, older adults can hold onto who they've lost while still finding their way back to connection, comfort, and steadier days. "
“Mild cognitive impairment can be a daunting diagnosis when no one explains what you can do about it. You still have choices, and getting support can help. As a psychiatrist specialized in senior health, I have seen firsthand the difference having the right team behind you can make.”
"Dementia is an umbrella term meaning that someone is experiencing a decline in their brain functions that affects their ability to be independent in their personal affairs. Support, including medication management, varies by type of dementia. Often, patients are not diagnosed with dementia, not to mention the specific variety, leaving them and their families unsupported. Author Health is working to change that."
“People living with dementia do not always get the chance to share their full story. Many do not have a care team built around their needs. Caregivers often feel the same way. They may feel like no one is guiding or supporting them. With strong care coordination and support for both the person and the caregiver, life with dementia can feel safer, calmer, and more supported.”
"Anxiety traps the mind in the future, but grounding techniques pull you back to the present. We equip clients with pragmatic, evidence-based mindfulness and stress-management tools to calm an overactive nervous system and reclaim control in real-time."
“I didn’t realize how much I needed my Author Health therapist until I had them. I am able to begin my life again at 66 with their help understanding me.”
