We’re Here to Help
You Feel Better
Boutique Practice
As a boutique psychiatry practice, we offer lots of extras but we do not accept insurance…you are our focus, not the insurance company.
We want you to be comfortable – we offer coffee, tea, water and snacks to patients at every appointment. We have private waiting rooms and a discreet, upscale office. Same day refills – we don’t have a long list of rules and stipulations to get your medication refilled. Just give us a call – we’re here late and on Saturdays to assist you!
You don’t take insurance? Why not?
We want to be able to spend time with our patients, really get to know you and your issues without the constraints of an insurance company dictating your treatment. We offer 1.5 hour new patient appointments and 30 minute follow ups – most practices that take insurance can’t afford to spend that much time with patients due to low insurance reimbursement rates so they offer 10 or 15 minute follow ups – we don’t think that is enough time to properly treat patients!

Andrew B2024-06-19Excellent doctors respectful and very helpful. Able to get me in around my busy schedule as well. Would definitely recommend
Edward Onisk2024-06-18When we needed mental health services we had no doctors in the Clearwater area. I was impressed by Dr Rizzo’s credentials and the fact that she could see us almost immediately. We are very happy with the help she has provided. She maintains an empathetic and professional demeanor. She is very truthful about the length of time it takes to improve your health with the medications involved. She’s always available when needed. Her staff is also very professional and friendly.
Zoe Bandes2024-03-05Advantage Mental Health Center is great. They take care of me. I've been here for 5 years now, and I have absolutely no complaints.

j m2024-01-11Advantage Mental Health has been an amazing resource for over 5 years. The office staff is warm, efficient and effective. The clinicians are up to date with current medications and research. I was impressed to see they offer genetic testing for medication and TMS. Thank you for years of service. 5 stars all around.
Anna Frary2023-12-05I have been doing a clinical rotation as a nurse practitioner student with Advantage since May, 2023. The entire staff is amazing. They are all kind, knowledgable, and go above and beyond to help their patients each day. They have all taken the time to teach me and I am definitely going to be a better provider thanks to the time I've spent with them. I would not hesitate to recommend the practice to anyone I know who is having mental health struggles.
John M2023-10-31My experience as a rotating medical student at Advantage Mental Health Center was truly incredible. I would highly recommend AMHC to anyone and everyone looking for excellent and compassionate mental health care. From the moment I entered the office, everyone I met was warm, welcoming, and very professional from the office staff to the TMS staff and providers. I had the amazing opportunity to learn from Dr. Rizzo and NPs Kellie Furlow and Cathi Stephens and observed the way they treated each and every one of their patients with kindness and compassion while often working together to come up with personalized and optimized treatment plans, including medication management, counseling, TMS, etc. It was refreshing to see how much they sincerely care about each of their patients and want to help improve their patients' lives. They are very flexible in terms of scheduling and responsive with any questions patients have. The office space itself is very well-planned and thoughtful with private waiting areas and everything to make you feel comfortable during your visit. It was absolutely a wonderful experience!
Angela West2023-10-04I can’t say enough positive things about TMS Advantage in Clearwater. They are a top notch facility that is very efficient, punctual, and every staff member genuinely wants to help your quality of life and cares about you as a person. They offer extras at no charge like group therapy and activities that no other practice offers that I’m aware of and I researched several before deciding on TMS Advantage Clearwater. I’ve completed my 36 TMS treatments and can say it’s helped me tremendously. I looked forward to going to treatment every day. Everyone is so positive here. It’s not a “fix all”, but no treatment is, but if you go in with a positive attitude, you with definitely reap the benefits this practice has to offer. Check them out for yourself, I’m so glad I did. I will also continue to utilize those extra services they offer at no extra charge as an alumini!
