Dr. Jonathan Parker: Pediatric Psychiatrist and Therapist in Coral Gables, Florida

Motivated to get your child or young adult feeling better as quickly as possible.

Your child or young adult’s mental health is our primary focus here at My Family Psychiatrist. And that means thoroughly understanding the cause of their symptoms. I don’t merely treat a patient’s presenting symptoms. I take the time to uncover the root cause of their symptoms, allowing me to diagnose and treat whatever disorder they may be experiencing thus far more effectively.

In psychiatry, it typically takes a significant amount of time to accurately diagnose and treat mental health conditions adequately. That’s why I take a non-rushed approach, ensuring your child is diagnosed correctly and provided with a personalized, highly responsive treatment plan.

About Dr. Parker: Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Psychiatrist 

Working with children, adolescents, and young adults is something I genuinely enjoy. As a Double Board-Certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist in Florida, I have a wealth of experience helping my patients work through their concerns to achieve better mental health, wellness, and success in their lives.

During my time as the Medical Director for inpatient child and adolescent and adult psychiatry units, as well as being an Affiliate Assistant Professor for the University of Miami Psychiatry Department, I having trained countless medical students, residents and fellows. What I love most is helping patients and families one-on-one achieve their goals.
