Elite DNA Behavioral Health expands with new center to serve North Port, Venice communities

Elite DNA Behavioral Health, a comprehensive behavioral and mental health care provider, has opened a new clinic to serve the North Port and Venice communities.

Located at 8026 South Tamiami Trail in Venice – with close proximity to Wellen Park – the new center offers a range of in-person and virtual mental and behavioral health services for children, adolescents and adults, including psychiatry, psychology, medication management and substance use treatment. Occupational therapy, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis services are also available virtually.

“Elite DNA Behavioral Health was first established to make high quality mental and behavioral services affordable and accessible to all, and we are thrilled to expand these services to the region,” said Elizabeth Dosoretz, LCSW, founder and CEO of Elite DNA Behavioral Health, who founded the company in 2013 following her own journey with postpartum depression. “Our team is dedicated to helping people achieve better quality of life and find the very best version of themselves while navigating mental health conditions and life’s day-to-day challenges.”

The new center is staffed by Kayla Pope, Danielle Carraway, Jason Ritenour and Jeresa Peterson, all psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners, who provide psychiatry and medication management services alongside a team of care coordinators and staff. Elite DNA is also actively hiring therapists to provide a full range of mental health services at this location.

“By meeting our patients therapeutically where they are, we can help get them along the path to where they need to be,” said David Calandro, regional manager of Elite DNA’s Gulf Coast region. “We are glad to be part of the community and look forward to serving our neighbors with personalized, quality care.”

Elite DNA is one of the largest mental health providers in the state with more than 35 locations across Florida. Most insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare, are accepted.
