Physician-led specialty virtual care platform strengthens whole-person care through coordinated counseling, psychiatry, digital behavioral health technologies, and comprehensive virtual healthcare.
TAMPA, FL — DevotedDOc, a physician-led specialty virtual healthcare organization, today announced the expansion of its integrated behavioral health network through new partnerships with licensed mental health counselors and psychiatric providers. The initiative strengthens DevotedDOc's ability to deliver coordinated, whole-person healthcare by integrating medical care, behavioral health, psychiatry, and evidence-based digital behavioral health technologies into a single virtual care experience.
The expansion enhances access to counseling, psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and coordinated behavioral healthcare for patients across DevotedDOc's clinical service lines while providing healthcare organizations with scalable behavioral health solutions that complement existing clinical workflows.
Behavioral health has long been embedded into DevotedDOc's physician-led model of care. Every patient entering the platform undergoes comprehensive screening for depression, anxiety, behavioral health concerns, substance use disorders, and other psychosocial factors that may influence treatment success. This proactive approach allows clinicians to identify unmet behavioral health needs early and coordinate appropriate medical, counseling, psychiatric, and supportive care before small challenges become larger barriers to recovery.
"Our goal has never been to simply treat a diagnosis," said Matthew Berrios, DO, Founder and CEO of DevotedDOc. "Whether someone is seeking addiction treatment, HIV prevention, weight management, or primary medical care, behavioral health often determines long-term success. By expanding our behavioral health network and integrating evidence-based digital support tools, we're building a more connected healthcare experience that treats the whole person—not just today's medical problem."
Technology-Enabled Behavioral Health Support
DevotedDOc's behavioral health model extends well beyond scheduled appointments. In addition to physician-led medical care and licensed behavioral health professionals, patients may receive access to evidence-based digital behavioral health resources designed to reinforce treatment plans between visits and promote long-term engagement.
Depending on individual clinical needs, patients may benefit from technology-enabled resources that include:
- Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Mood, anxiety, and symptom tracking
- Recovery support and relapse prevention resources
- Medication adherence reminders
- Guided behavioral health exercises
- Digital journaling and self-reflection tools
- Wellness and resilience-building activities
- Personalized educational content
- Between-visit patient engagement resources that encourage continuity of care
These technology-enabled interventions complement—not replace—the relationship between patients and their healthcare team. By combining physician oversight, licensed counselors, psychiatric services, and digital behavioral health technologies, DevotedDOc helps patients remain engaged throughout their healthcare journey while supporting better long-term clinical outcomes.
Supporting Patients Across Multiple Service Lines
Behavioral health challenges frequently coexist with chronic medical conditions, addiction, preventive healthcare, sexual health, and obesity. DevotedDOc's integrated care model enables clinicians to coordinate behavioral health services across multiple specialties rather than treating each condition in isolation.
This comprehensive approach benefits patients receiving care for:
- Addiction Medicine and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
- Alcohol Use Disorder
- HIV Prevention (PrEP)
- HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
- Hepatitis C
- Weight Management
- Men's and Women's Health
- Chronic Disease Management
- Primary Medical Care
Rather than asking patients to independently navigate fragmented healthcare systems, DevotedDOc coordinates medical care, behavioral health services, psychiatry, and supportive technologies through one integrated clinical experience.
Comprehensive HIV Prevention Includes Behavioral Health
Behavioral health is particularly important for patients seeking HIV prevention services.
Individuals requesting HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) frequently present during periods of significant anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or emotional distress following a potential HIV exposure. DevotedDOc's integrated care model allows clinicians to rapidly evaluate not only the patient's immediate medical needs but also their emotional wellbeing, providing timely access to counseling, psychiatric care when clinically appropriate, and evidence-based behavioral health resources throughout the treatment process.
Likewise, patients receiving HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) may benefit from behavioral health support that addresses medication adherence, anxiety, stigma, relationship concerns, sexual wellness, and other psychosocial factors known to influence long-term preventive care.
DevotedDOc is recognized through the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) as an HIV prevention provider, supporting timely access to HIV prevention services as part of its comprehensive physician-led care model. This expanded behavioral health network further strengthens the organization's ability to support patients before, during, and after treatment while improving long-term engagement in preventive healthcare.
Built Around Continuity of Care
The expanded behavioral health network builds upon DevotedDOc's existing care coordination infrastructure, allowing physicians to identify behavioral health needs during routine clinical encounters and facilitate timely referrals into an integrated network of licensed behavioral health professionals.
The company's coordinated care model emphasizes:
- Early behavioral health screening
- Evidence-based depression and anxiety assessment
- Physician-led care coordination
- Licensed counseling services
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Digital behavioral health technologies
- Continuity of care across specialties
- Whole-person, patient-centered treatment planning
This integrated model supports both individual patients and healthcare organizations seeking comprehensive behavioral healthcare without the complexity of managing multiple disconnected vendors.
"Patients shouldn't have to start over every time they need another specialist," Dr. Berrios added. "Medical care, behavioral health, psychiatry, and digital health tools work best when they're coordinated. That's the future of healthcare we're building."
Supporting Healthcare Organizations Nationwide
The expanded behavioral health capabilities further strengthen DevotedDOc's ability to partner with:
- Healthcare systems
- Employers
- Community health organizations
- Recovery organizations
- Public health initiatives
- Correctional healthcare programs
- Reentry programs
- Community-based organizations
- Government and nonprofit partners
Through physician-led clinical oversight, coordinated behavioral healthcare, and technology-enabled patient engagement, DevotedDOc helps organizations expand access to high-quality behavioral healthcare while improving continuity, patient retention, and long-term clinical outcomes.
This expansion reflects DevotedDOc's continued evolution as a physician-led specialty virtual care organization, bringing together addiction medicine, behavioral health, HIV prevention, primary care, weight management, and technology-enabled patient support into one coordinated model designed to improve access, strengthen continuity of care, and deliver better outcomes for patients, providers, employers, and healthcare organizations.
