Overcoming the Fear of Reaching Out to a Psychiatrist: How Blue Umbrella Psychiatry Cares for You

Making the decision to seek help from a psychiatrist can feel overwhelming and even intimidating. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health concern, the first step is often the hardest. At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we understand how difficult it can be to take that initial leap. That’s why we’re committed to making the experience as comfortable and supportive as possible—because reaching out for mental health care shouldn’t be something to fear, but a step toward healing and growth.

Why We’re Different


At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we believe in care that truly changes lives. Our CEO and lead psychiatrist, Dr. Eric Robbins, works closely with a dedicated team of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PHMNPs) who not only provide expert medication management but also incorporate a therapeutic approach to treatment. We believe that medication is only one part of the equation, and understanding your unique situation is key to finding the right path forward.


Comprehensive Mental Health Care Under One Roof


Unlike some offices that focus solely on prescribing medication, we take a holistic approach to mental health. Alongside our medication management services, we have a compassionate, in-house team of therapists who can address the broader spectrum of your mental health needs. Whether you’re looking for therapy, medication, or both, our integrated team works together to ensure you receive well-rounded care.


We also have the Breakthrough Center, where we offer additional options for treatment-resistant depression, including innovative therapies like ketamine, Spravato, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This allows us to provide specialized care for those who may not have found relief through traditional treatments.


Additionally, we serve the whole family starting at age 5, thanks to Dr. Robbins' certification as a child and adolescent board-certified psychiatrist. We understand the importance of addressing mental health concerns across different stages of life.


Even if you’re not coming to us for therapy, we’ve built strong partnerships with therapists in the community. This means we work closely with your existing therapist or help connect you with the right professional, so that all aspects of your mental health are well-coordinated and managed. At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we believe that collaboration with community therapists creates a network of care that provides the best outcomes for our patients.


A Team That Understands You


We know it can be intimidating to reach out to a psychiatrist. That’s why we focus on creating a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where your voice is heard. Our PHMNPs and therapists are not only highly skilled professionals but also compassionate listeners who work alongside you in your journey toward better mental health.


We understand that every individual’s path is different, and we’re here to walk that path with you, offering guidance, support, and evidence-based treatments tailored to your needs. Whether you’re struggling with daily stress or dealing with long-standing mental health challenges, Blue Umbrella Psychiatry is here to help you build a brighter, healthier future.


It’s Time to Take the Next Step


It’s normal to feel apprehensive about seeking psychiatric care, but at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, you’re in good hands. Our collaborative approach, led by Dr. Robbins and supported by our talented team of PHMNPs and therapists, ensures you’ll receive the best possible care in a comfortable, supportive environment.


If you’ve been hesitating to reach out, know that we’re here for you every step of the way. Contact us today at 954-341-5215 to schedule a consultation and experience mental health care that changes lives.
