Telepsychiatry in New York City
Enjoy comprehensive remote care from our NYC-based team of doctors for medication management and psychotherapy without traveling to the Midtown Manhattan office.
What is telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is a method of psychiatric treatment using HIPPA-compliant video conferencing on your smartphone or computer to connect with a physician. This method of treatment allows you the convenience to meet with an experienced psychiatrist to address a variety of issues remotely.
Telepsychiatry, or virtual medication management, can address most of the same issues you’d discuss with a physician in person. Our board-certified psychiatrists mostly work with clients to treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, sexual dysfunction, relationship issues, self-esteem, and more!
When you begin remote care with Healthy Minds NYC, you’ll be given a unique link to connect to your doctor confidentially at the time of your session. We even send a calendar invitation so you can stay organized. If you lose track of how to connect, no worries. You’ll have a direct cell phone number for your doctor and the backup support of our concierge office to make sure your session runs smoothly.
How does a virtual psychiatry appointment work?
Sick of feeling like you’re patient #267 of the day for your online psychiatrist? We hear you. At Healthy Minds NYC, we know you’re one of one. Here, you’ll experience the personalized level of care and support provided by our psychiatric team. We treat psychiatry with the same level of patience and long-term wellness perspective as psychotherapy.
Share Your History
We don’t do cookie-cutter. You deserve customized care based on your unique background and needs. During your initial telepsychiatry session, your psychiatrist learns more about you and your goals. They will discuss many factors of your life including your career, relationships, mental health, and physical health.
Set Your Goals
Your board-certified psychiatrist will take time to better understand your goals and expectations for treatment. You meet with your therapist on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that ensures discretion and protects your privacy.
Monitor Progress
In subsequent visits, your psychiatrist at Healthy Minds NYC will monitor your progress and can work with you through psychotherapy sessions. They focus on your mental health and emotional wellness to help you live a healthy, happy life.
