Psychiatric Evaluation & Consultation
Every care plan at Turnwell Mental Health of Tampa starts here. Before any treatment begins, your board-certified psychiatrist conducts a thorough evaluation covering your symptom history, prior treatments, family background, and life circumstances. An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of a good plan. Second-opinion consultations are also available for patients who want an independent perspective on a current diagnosis or existing treatment approach.

TMS Therapy in Tampa, FL
If medications haven't worked, or haven't worked well enough, TMS therapy offers a clinically proven alternative. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions responsible for mood regulation, guided by detailed brain mapping. No medication. No anesthesia. No recovery time between sessions. Patients drive themselves home after every visit.
Turnwell Tampa also offers PrTMS, a personalized form of TMS that uses quantitative EEG brain mapping to tailor the protocol to each patient's individual neurological profile. For patients who have tried standard TMS or want the most precise approach available, PrTMS takes that individualization further.
Hear From Dr. Upshaw on TMS Therapy
Dr. Upshaw has been one of Tampa Bay's most experienced TMS specialists since 2004. As a former VA psychiatrist and University of South Florida faculty member, he has helped hundreds of patients find meaningful relief from treatment-resistant depression when other approaches hadn't delivered results.
In this short video, Dr. Upshaw explains how TMS works, who it's right for, and what patients can expect during treatment at Turnwell Tampa.
Spravato® & Ketamine Therapy in Tampa, FL
For people with severe depression that hasn't responded to antidepressants, Spravato offers a clinically proven alternative. FDA-approved as an esketamine nasal spray, it acts on the glutamate system rather than serotonin, and many patients experience meaningful relief within days rather than weeks. When someone is genuinely struggling, that speed matters.
Because Spravato can cause temporary sedation, it is administered in our Tampa office under direct medical supervision. Most patients follow twice-weekly sessions for four weeks, then transition to a maintenance schedule based on their response.
We verify your insurance before your first appointment. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and most major plans accepted.
Become a PatientDepression, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Addiction & More

ADHD Testing & Treatment
Turnwell offers comprehensive ADHD testing and treatment in Tampa for adults and children. Our psychiatrists conduct thorough evaluations and provide stimulant and non-stimulant medication management alongside behavioral strategies. If you've been managing ADHD symptoms without a formal psychiatric evaluation, or if your current treatment feels incomplete, our team can help clarify the picture. Telehealth ADHD follow-up is available throughout Florida.

Depression & Treatment-Resistant Depression
Depression therapy in Tampa at Turnwell goes beyond another medication adjustment. For patients whose depression hasn't responded to prior treatments, we offer TMS therapy, PrTMS, and Spravato — interventional approaches that target the neural circuits involved in mood regulation rather than relying solely on neurotransmitter modulation. If you've been through the cycle of trying different medications with little lasting relief, there are still proven paths forward.
