Online psychiatry is mental health care provided virtually with a licensed psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Instead of visiting an office, you’ll meet with your clinician through secure video appointments from a private space that works for you. They can evaluate your symptoms, discuss treatment options, prescribe medication when appropriate, and provide ongoing medication management.

Research has shown that online psychiatry can be just as effective as in-person care for many mental health conditions. You can receive the same quality of care, including evaluations, medication management, and ongoing monitoring, without having to travel to an office. Because online psychiatry makes it more convenient to attend appointments and connect with your psychiatrist when questions come up, many people find it even easier to stay on track with their treatment.

Appointment availability varies based on factors such as your insurance plan and the type of care you’re seeking. That said, virtual appointments typically have quicker availability and many clients are able to attend their first appointment with their clinician within days of reaching out to our team.
