Who you will actually see
Two clinicians. Not a rotating roster.
When you search for a psychiatrist in Jacksonville, you mostly find networks and waitlists. Here, you know exactly who you’re seeing.
Conditions we treat
Adult psychiatry, across the full range
Depression
Major depression, persistent low mood, and treatment-resistant cases — with ketamine therapy available on-site when standard medications haven’t been enough.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety, managed with evidence-based medication plans reviewed at a pace that fits you.
ADHD
Adult ADHD evaluation and ongoing medication management, coordinated with your work and life demands.
Bipolar Disorder
Careful mood-stabilizer management for bipolar I and II, with close monitoring during adjustments.
PTSD & Trauma
Trauma-informed psychiatric care, including options for veterans — The Practice is veteran-owned.
OCD
Medication management for obsessive-compulsive disorder, alongside therapy referral when exposure-based work would help.
Sleep Problems
Insomnia and disrupted sleep treated in context — sleep, mood, and hormones are looked at together, not in isolation.
Complex Mood Disorders
Second opinions and fresh evaluations when your diagnosis or medication history has become tangled.
Why patients choose us
What a smaller clinic gets right
A physician-led practice, not a network
Your care comes from a board-certified psychiatrist and a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner — not a rotating telehealth roster. You see the same clinicians visit after visit.
Nothing slips through the cracks
Psychiatry, ketamine therapy, psychotherapy, and even hormone care live under one roof, with your provider at the helm. When sleep, mood, medications, and hormones are seen together, problems get caught — not bounced between offices.
Unhurried evaluations
First visits are comprehensive — history, symptoms, prior medications, and goals — so the plan is built on understanding, not a 10-minute intake.
One clinic in San Marco
In-person care at 3547 Hendricks Ave in Jacksonville’s San Marco neighborhood, minutes from Downtown, Riverside, and Southside via I-95.
When medication isn’t enough
Treatment-resistant doesn’t mean out of options
If you’ve cycled through antidepressants without lasting relief, the answer usually isn’t a fifth medication. The Practice is one of the few psychiatric clinics in Jacksonville where the next steps happen in the same building, with the same provider.
IV Ketamine Therapy
Monitored infusions for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD — every session run under board-certified psychiatric supervision.

Psychotherapy
Evidence-based talk therapy in the same clinic, coordinated with your psychiatric care instead of running parallel to it.

Common questions
Finding a psychiatrist in Jacksonville, answered
How do I see a psychiatrist in Jacksonville, FL at The Practice?
Book a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation online or call (904) 877-1100. Visits are in person at 3547 Hendricks Ave in San Marco, Jacksonville. New patients start with a full evaluation so your plan is built on a complete picture, not a quick intake.
Who provides psychiatric care at The Practice?
Dr. Raul Soto-Acosta, a psychiatrist board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and Charles Maddix, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and the clinic’s founder.
What conditions do your psychiatrists treat?
Depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, sleep problems, and complex mood and personality disorders in adults. If your needs fall outside our scope, we say so and help you find the right fit.
Can you take over my existing prescriptions?
Yes. Your provider reviews and manages your current psychiatric medications, makes adjustments as needed, and coordinates with your other prescribers — one person tracking the whole regimen, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What if medications haven’t worked for me?
That’s the situation this clinic was built for. Alongside standard medication management, The Practice offers IV ketamine therapy — administered under board-certified psychiatric supervision — and psychotherapy, so treatment-resistant depression and anxiety have next steps under the same roof, coordinated by the same provider who already knows your history.
Do you offer therapy as well as medication management?
Yes. Psychotherapy is available in the same clinic, and our psychiatric and therapy providers coordinate care when you work with both.

The Practice is at 3547 Hendricks Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32207 — in the San Marco neighborhood, a short drive from Downtown, Riverside, Avondale, Southside, Mandarin, and the Beaches.
