How Does Telepsychiatry Work?

Simple, Secure Virtual Care from a Trusted Online Psychiatrist

What Is Telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry is a branch of telemedicine psychiatry that allows you to meet with a licensed virtual psychiatrist via a secure video platform. It’s an essential part of telehealth mental health services, and it gives you direct access to expert care, including medication management, evaluations, and therapy referrals, without needing to commute.

You’ll meet with your provider in real-time, face-to-face, using a HIPAA-compliant platform that protects your privacy. It’s just like visiting our office but with more flexibility and less stress. Whether you’re seeking online mental health therapy, an online psychiatric diagnosis, or simply want to see a psychiatrist online, we’ve streamlined the process to keep it efficient, private, and flexible.

If you’re new to virtual mental health care, you may be wondering: how does telepsychiatry work? At Excel Psychiatry, we make it easy for you. Our telepsychiatry services are designed to provide the same compassionate, high-quality care you’d receive in person, delivered through secure online video call, from the comfort of your home.
