Khandie Graham, MD
My practice focuses on medication management, which I typically offer in conjunction with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Occasionally, I may believe that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome. I treat all adults and specialize in depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and life changes. I pride myself in partnering with patients to create individualized treatment plans, and I am a great listener who spends time with my patients.

Kristina Schnitzer, MD
I focus on medication management as the foundation of my treatment approach, typically combining it with supportive or emotionally focused therapy during 30-minute follow-up visits. I take a collaborative and individualized approach to patient care and, when needed, may recommend additional therapy by integrating a therapist into the care team to ensure the best possible outcomes. I have experience treating a broad range of psychiatric disorders in various clinical settings.
In a first visit, patients can expect a thorough and structured evaluation in which I carefully assess their symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. I emphasize open communication and collaboration, ensuring that patients are fully involved in shaping their treatment plans. Follow-up visits typically last 30 minutes, during which I monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and may recommend additional therapeutic support for comprehensive care.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine and completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Adult Psychiatry Residency Program.

I am board-certified in Psychiatry with 15 years of experience in outpatient clinical psychiatry.

Lori Peppers, MD
I work with patients to meet the goals that matter to them. I believe that feeling heard and being understood are key factors in a successful treatment relationship. I have worked extensively with patients dealing with trauma from childhood abuse, assaults, combat, and accidents. I also have a lot of experience treating depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and personality disorders.
I have been working in telehealth since 2018. After completing my training, I worked in private practice and in various roles for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I most enjoy working in the clinic because of the long-term follow-up.
I enjoy my work and include psychotherapy in my appointments. I offer medication options to treat symptoms but also work with patients to examine behaviors and defenses that may be contributing to their problems. For patients who would benefit from more extensive psychotherapy, I may refer them to a therapist and work collaboratively with that therapist. I start off with a thorough evaluation to make a diagnosis, then work with patients to determine their treatment goals and develop a treatment plan to meet those goals.

Find a psychiatrist in Tampa, FL
Talkiatry can connect you with a psychiatrist licensed in Florida by secure video, so you can be seen from anywhere in the Tampa area. Care happens from home on your schedule, which means no drive across town and no waiting on a single nearby office to call you back.
Online Psychiatry for Tampa Residents
You get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Florida, then meet by video from home. Because your psychiatrist is licensed in Florida, you can be seen wherever you are in Tampa, not only where a local office happens to be.
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and start building a treatment plan together. Follow-up visits usually run about 30 minutes, so you can check in, review how you feel, and adjust the plan as needed. Online psychiatry means you set up visits around work, school, or caregiving instead of around a commute.
What a Psychiatrist Can Help With
Talkiatry psychiatrists treat a wide range of conditions and take time to understand what you are dealing with before recommending anything. Common reasons Tampa residents reach out include:
- Anxiety, including constant worry, panic, and anxiety that gets in the way of daily life
- Depression, including low mood, loss of interest, and trouble functioning
- ADHD, including trouble focusing, restlessness, and follow-through that feels out of reach
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can prescribe and manage medication when it fits your situation. Medication is one possible part of a plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on your needs and availability, therapy may also be part of your care. Your psychiatrist listens, evaluates, and personalizes the plan to you.
Does Insurance Cover a Psychiatrist in Tampa?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule a visit. That way you know where you stand before your first appointment. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan, so it helps to confirm the details with your insurance company.
Mental Health Care in Tampa
Finding local psychiatric care in Florida can take longer than it should. Florida has 239 designated mental health professional shortage areas covering about 9.87 million people, and only about 24.9% of the need for psychiatric care is being met (according to KFF as of 12/31/25). For you, that gap often shows up as long waits and few nearby openings. Online psychiatry helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist across Florida, rather than limiting your options to the providers in your immediate area.
