What Is Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is psychiatric care delivered through a live, secure video appointment. You meet directly with your clinician from a private location using a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone.
Online care uses the same core clinical processes for assessment, treatment planning, medication follow-up, psychotherapy, and ongoing monitoring when telepsychiatry is clinically appropriate.
Florida patients may receive an adult psychiatric evaluation , child and adolescent psychiatric care , medication management , psychotherapy , or a coordinated combination of services.
The American Psychiatric Association provides additional information about telepsychiatry.
If you are in crisis: call or text 988. Call 911 for an immediate emergency or visit the crisis resources page .
