About Louis
Dr. Louis Velazquez is a board-certified psychiatrist with dual training in adult and child and adolescent psychiatry. He completed his undergraduate studies at Yale University and earned his medical degree at the University of Michigan Medical School, followed by a psychiatry residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
With more than thirty years in practice across several states before settling in Florida, Dr. Velazquez sees patients from early childhood to their eighties at the Palm Beach Gardens office. That span is unusual: families can bring a young child, a teenager, and a grandparent to the same psychiatrist, and he is comfortable with conditions that look different at different ages, from ADHD and childhood anxiety to late-life depression.
He emphasizes whole-person care and the patient's own confidence. A visit with him includes a careful review of medical history, family context, and daily functioning, and treatment plans are explained in terms a child, a parent, or an older adult can each understand. Palm Beach Gardens is the practice's Deep TMS and Spravato site, and he can evaluate adults for either when earlier treatments have not worked.
