Megan Mufson
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner trained at the University of Pennsylvania and the founder of Florida Holistic Psychiatry, where I lead a team of clinicians providing both in-person and telehealth care. We treat patients across Florida and in several other states, addressing the full range of mental health concerns—from mood disorders and substance use to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, psychosis, and more. I also specialize in couples therapy, helping people improve communication and navigate the complexities of their relationships.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, emotional intelligence, and a deep commitment to helping others heal. I consider myself an experiment in relationship stuff too—always learning and growing in this space. As someone who sees it all in practice, I’m a reliable source for anything related to mental health, from clinical insight to the emotional challenges of everyday life.
