About Us:

Established by Dr. Luisa Vega, DNP, PMHNP, AGPCNP, APRN, and serving as the CEO, Psych Health Associates has become one of the leading psychiatry practices in Florida, dedicated to providing exceptional mental
health care services.

Currently, PHA, powered by Spectrum Medical Partners, offers quality-focused psychiatric support services to over 150 post-acute facilities across 33 counties in Florida, in addition to providing telepsychiatry services to patients in the community. We firmly believe that mental health care should be personalized and sensitive to individual needs.

We can staff buildings in 30 days so we are able to serve communities outside of our current footprint.

Clinical Leadership Team

Our leadership team is backed by experienced clinical leaders dedicated to providing the best care for patients and ensuring regulatory compliance for our team of providers.

Our CEO and two board-certified regional psychiatrists have over 20 years of combined psychiatric experience. Our clinical team actively participates in supervision and quality measures. Our providers specialize in delivering psychiatry services, prioritizing patient wellness while upholding regulatory standards.

We are committed to maintaining the quality of our services as we expand.

Why Facilities Choose PHA:

Staffing related issues, state surveys, and regulatory changes can make it challenging to ensure that your patients are receiving the mental health care they require. That’s where Psych Health Associates (PHA) can be of assistance.

When you choose PHA as your psychiatry provider, you can be assured that we prioritize regulatory compliance and quality measures during every visit. Our approach enables us to help you maintain compliance, avoid citations, census loss, staff burnout, and complaints.

We understand that selecting the right psychiatry provider can make or break your center’s success. That’s why we’re committed to providing premier quality-centered care and a worry-free experience for our clients.

Available 24/7/365:

At PHA, we make it a priority to have one of our team members available 24/7 to provide support to our facilities. Our staff is highly trained to handle emergencies and provide timely interventions when required. We understand that each center has unique requirements when it comes to admitting new pa- tients, handling emergencies, and managing regulatory or reportable-related situations. Therefore, we offer two types of visits - on-site and telehealth - to give you options that best suit your specific needs, any time of the day or night, 365 days a year.

Consistent Coverage and Support:

We work closely with your staff to establish a consistent schedule of visits that is best suited for your facility. To ensure effective communication and collaboration, our provider will check in with your interdisciplinary team before rounding and before leaving your facility. This way, all relevant parties can remain informed about the patient’s condition and any necessary next steps.

Patient and Facility Outcomes:

We implement diverse behavioral health strategies to enhance patient and facility outcomes, including regular visits, 24/7/365 access to a provider, GDRs, and monthly psychotropic meetings. Our patient care approach is centered around providing quality-focused support that is proactive and consistent. We believe this approach leads to improved outcomes and high-quality care for our patients.

Why Patients Choose PHA:

Our primary goal is to help each patient achieve better health in all aspects of their life, whether they are living with dementia, serious mental illness, or adjusting to a new health condition. Our dedicated team takes the time to thoroughly assess each patient. During the initial examination, we meticulously review signs and symptoms that may indicate various mental health conditions. We proactively reach out to each health care proxy to gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s history and baseline, allowing us to develop a tailored treatment plan that caters to each patient’s specific needs and goals.
