Telepsychiatry in California - Online Psychiatric Care

Telehealth (also called telepsychiatry) provides real-time, face-to-face care through secure video technology. You meet with your provider virtually, just as you would in an in-person office visit.

Telehealth is private, secure, and designed to make mental health care more accessible and convenient.

Telehealth may be a good fit if you:

• Prefer the convenience of virtual appointments
• Have difficulty traveling to an office
• Have a busy schedule or caregiving responsibilities
• Live in an area with limited access to psychiatric care
• Prefer receiving care from home
  

If you’re unsure whether telehealth is appropriate for your situation, we’re happy to discuss your options.

Your telehealth care typically includes:

1. A secure video session with your provider
2. Review of symptoms, history, and treatment goals
3. Discussion of treatment options
4. Ongoing follow-up appointments as needed
   

You’ll receive the same attentive, personalized care as you would in person.

• Convenient access to care
• Reduced travel time
• Increased scheduling flexibility
• Continuity of care from home
• Private and confidential sessions
