HOW DOES TELEPSYCHIATRY WORK?

Our visits are done via Telepsychiatry which is an excellent and convenient method of treatment for those that suffer from the garden variety of anxiety, depression and ADHD.

We use only secure, encrypted, HIPAA compliant methods of communication ensuring your delicate information is secure.

 

I am excited that the ever evolving mental health landscape has opened up more doors for access to mental health as never seen before. According to the American Psychiatric Association, Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction, as many people feel more relaxed and willing to open up from the comfort of their own personal space. 

 

Mental illness does not discriminate, as we have seen from this current pandemic of how stress can lead to serious mental health problems, like depression and anxiety disorders. 

 

As many as 20 percent of American adults will experience a diagnosable mental health disorder in a given year but only half will seek professional treatment. 

 

Telehealth has given us the opportunity to bridge this gap in care, so let's get started! 

WHO IS TELEPSYCHIATRY NOT A GOOD FIT FOR?
Telepsychiatry is not a good fit due to its formatted structure for those suffering from psychotic disorders/schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, active eating disorders, active substance abuse/addiction disorders and self harming behaviors
