Psychiatric Care for Town 'n' Country Residents

Health Haven Tampa — 3246 Cove Bend Dr, Tampa, FL 33613 · (863) 261-8354

Two corridors carry most of the trip. The Veterans Expressway (SR-589) runs north from the Memorial Hwy / Hillsborough Ave area toward Ehrlich Rd, which becomes Bearss Ave east of Dale Mabry — the office sits off Bearss in north Tampa, 33613. The surface alternative is Hillsborough Ave east to Dale Mabry Hwy north, then Bearss Ave east; Gunn Hwy east to Dale Mabry is a third option. Sheldon Rd and Waters Ave are the CDP's own feeders onto those corridors.

From central Town 'n' Country (the Hillsborough Ave / Sheldon Rd area), it's roughly 17–19 miles, about 30–40 minutes (est.) off-peak to 3246 Cove Bend Dr. No routing source returned that exact address pair, so treat that as an estimate rather than a measured figure — and expect it to run longer at peak. This is a cross-town, northeast drive, not a straight shot up one road: every route crosses or joins the Dale Mabry / I-275 north Tampa congestion band, and Veterans Expressway and Hillsborough Ave traffic around Tampa International Airport peaks with flight and commute surges. The community's own mean commute is already 28.0 minutes (ACS 2020–2024), so a ~30–40-minute (est.) medical drive sits in line with residents' daily travel — real, but ordinary.

Here's what we offer at our Tampa office.

• Psychiatric evaluations — a careful first look at what's going on, so we can talk through next steps together.
• Medication management — prescribing and ongoing check-ins, adjusted as we learn what fits.
• Therapy — psychotherapy and counseling, one on one, at a pace that feels manageable.

Telehealth appointments are available anywhere in Florida, as long as you're physically in Florida at the time of your appointment — and on a ~17–19-mile (est.) cross-town drive, that option carries a lot of the follow-up work. We see patients 12 and up (children 8 and up by referral), accept most major insurance plans — see /insurance — and have seven Spanish-speaking providers on the Health Haven team practice-wide. On the honest market picture: Town 'n' Country residents are not without psychiatry at home. Memorial Hwy alone carries surfaced listings for Florida Behavioral Medicine of Tampa (6301 Memorial Hwy) and Blue Wave Psychiatry (6601 Memorial Hwy), and Selah Psychiatry on Waters Ave presents its directory listing bilingually in Spanish. Health Haven's position is narrower than a scarcity pitch — a second option, from one Tampa practice, with telehealth that removes the repeat Veterans/Dale Mabry/Bearss trip.

The neighborhoods Wikipedia names inside the CDP — Bay Crest Park, Countryway, Rocky Creek, and Sweetwater Creek — still read like the 1958 build-out: Florida ranch homes, contemporary bungalows, and Mediterranean revival houses, with newer planned subdivisions at the edges. Outdoors, the Upper Tampa Bay Trail runs from a trailhead off Memorial Hwy / Montague St past Waters Ave and Linebaugh Ave, then north to Gunn Hwy and Ehrlich Rd, with the Channel Park Trailhead at 9201 W Waters Ave offering restrooms, parking, and water, a scenic wooden bridge at Rocky Creek, and the county-listed Rocky Creek Trails Nature Preserve as a wooded stop along the way.

Families anchor on the CDP's own schools: Town & Country Elementary (6025 Hanley Rd) and Webb Middle School (6035 Hanley Rd) sit on the same street inside Town 'n' Country, and Woodbridge Elementary serves the Town 'n' Country area. High schoolers attend area schools including Leto High School (4409 W Sligh Ave, 33614), just east of the CDP, and Alonso High School (8302 Montague St, 33635) at the CDP's western side. The Town 'N Country Regional Library at 7606 Paula Dr — opened in 1969 as the West Gate Branch, a regional branch since 1995, reopened in January 2023 as part of the Town 'N Country Commons alongside a Head Start center and a Senior Center — is the civic anchor. Along Waters Ave, institutions at 7520 W Waters Ave operate bilingually by design, including a Children's Board Family Resource Center suite and a technical-institute program delivered in both Spanish and English. Median household income is $73,538 (ACS 2020–2024), with retail and everyday dining concentrated along Hillsborough Ave and Waters Ave.

Town 'n' Country already has psychiatry listings on Memorial Hwy and Waters Ave, so the honest reason patients look north to Health Haven's Tampa office is fit, language depth, and a telehealth option — not absence. In one practice you'll find evaluations, medication management, and therapy, with seven Spanish-speaking providers practice-wide and appointments from home anywhere in Florida on the days the ~17–19-mile (est.) drive doesn't work.

• Telehealth carries the follow-up — appointments from anywhere in Florida, on the days making the cross-town drive isn't practical.
• Spanish access, practice-wide — seven Spanish-speaking providers on the Health Haven team, in a community where 56.9% speak a language other than English at home (ACS 2020–2024).
• Three services in one practice — psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy (psychotherapy and counseling) at the Tampa office.
• A second option to compare — for residents weighing the small Memorial Hwy and Waters Ave practices, a provider change, or a different fit.
• Care for the household — patients 12 and up, children 8 and up by referral, in a community where 30.1% of households had children under 18 (2020 Census).

Is there a psychiatrist in Town 'n' Country?

Yes. Directory searches surfaced several psychiatry practices with Town 'n' Country addresses, including Florida Behavioral Medicine of Tampa and Blue Wave Psychiatry on Memorial Hwy, and Selah Psychiatry on Waters Ave. Health Haven serves patients from Town 'n' Country from its Tampa office at 3246 Cove Bend Dr, Tampa, FL 33613. We see patients 12 and up, with children 8 and up by referral.

How long is the drive from Town 'n' Country to Health Haven's Tampa office?

Roughly 17–19 miles, about 30–40 minutes (est.) off-peak — north on the Veterans Expressway (SR-589) to Ehrlich Rd/Bearss Ave, or Dale Mabry Hwy north to Bearss Ave east, into north Tampa at 3246 Cove Bend Dr. That figure is an estimate, not a measured routing result, and every route crosses the Dale Mabry congestion band, so peak hours run longer (est.). Most major insurance plans are accepted — see /insurance.

Can I do appointments from home in Town 'n' Country instead of driving to Tampa?

Yes. Telehealth is available anywhere in Florida, as long as you are physically in Florida at the time of your appointment. Given the ~17–19-mile (est.) cross-town drive, it's a practical way to keep follow-up visits going on weeks when the Veterans Expressway or Dale Mabry doesn't fit your day.

Is care available in Spanish for Town 'n' Country patients?

Yes. Health Haven has seven Spanish-speaking providers on the team practice-wide. That matters here: 51.71% of Town 'n' Country residents are Hispanic or Latino (2020 Census), 56.9% speak a language other than English at home (ACS 2020–2024), and 40.0% are foreign-born (ACS 2020–2024). We should say plainly that a local practice, Selah Psychiatry on Waters Ave, also presents bilingually in Spanish — our claim is Spanish access, not Spanish exclusivity.

Does Health Haven have an office in Town 'n' Country?

No. Health Haven serves patients from Town 'n' Country from its Tampa office at 3246 Cove Bend Dr, Tampa, FL 33613 — phone (863) 261-8354. There is no Health Haven location in Town 'n' Country.

Does the Tampa office offer TMS, Spravato, or addiction treatment?

No — not at Tampa. The Tampa office offers psychiatric evaluations, medication management, therapy (psychotherapy and counseling), and telehealth. TMS, Spravato, and addiction treatment are not offered there, and we won't point you toward them as if they were.
