Telepsychiatry is mental health care delivered remotely—most often by secure video, and when appropriate, by phone. It brings psychiatric evaluations, therapy, and medication management to you wherever you are, helping remove barriers like travel, time off work, mobility challenges, or childcare.
Telepsychiatry is a form of telehealth that uses secure, HIPAA-compliant technology to connect you with a psychiatric provider. Care is delivered through live, interactive video (or audio-only where permitted) and may be complemented by digital tools such as patient portals, symptom trackers, or remote monitoring apps.
For many conditions, telepsychiatry provides diagnoses and outcomes comparable to in-person care, with high satisfaction among patients and clinicians. It supports timely access, continuity of care, and coordination with primary care and therapy.
Medication management can be provided by telehealth, including evaluation, prescribing when appropriate, and ongoing monitoring of benefits, side effects, labs, and safety. Some medications—particularly controlled substances—have additional federal/state requirements and may require an in-person evaluation or periodic in-person follow-up. Your clinician will review what applies to you and plan the safest approach.
1. Initial assessment: Review of symptoms, history, current medications/supplements, goals, and risks/benefits of treatment options.
2. Shared decisions: You and your clinician select a plan that fits your needs and preferences.
3. Follow-ups: Regular check-ins to monitor progress, side effects, and any needed dose or medication changes.
4. Integrated care: Coordination with your therapist, primary-care clinician, and (when helpful) family supports.
5. Privacy & safety: Sessions use encrypted platforms; you’ll choose a quiet, private space and confirm your location and emergency contact at each visit.
Telepsychiatry is not for emergencies. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a medical/psychiatric crisis, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Certain complex assessments or procedures may still be recommended in person.
