How Telepsychiatry Works

Telepsychiatry allows you to meet with your psychiatrist through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform from the privacy of your home or office.

Before your appointment, you’ll complete intake paperwork electronically and receive a secure link to join your visit. At your scheduled time, you’ll connect by video using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable internet connection.

From there, the appointment proceeds much like an in-person visit. We discuss your concerns, review symptoms, develop a treatment plan, and answer your questions. If medication is appropriate, prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy.

For most psychiatric conditions, research has shown that telepsychiatry provides diagnostic accuracy, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction comparable to traditional in-person care.
