What Is Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is psychiatric care delivered through live, secure video. It offers the same clinical attention and confidentiality as an in-office appointment while saving time and travel.
Florida patients may receive an adult psychiatric evaluation, child and adolescent psychiatric care, medication management, psychotherapy, or coordinated ongoing support when telepsychiatry is clinically appropriate.
Patients Can Receive
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations
- Medication management and refills
- Individual psychotherapy and follow-ups
- Treatment planning and progress review
- Care coordination when clinically appropriate
- Ongoing psychiatric support through secure video
Patients join from a private Florida location using a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone.
How Telepsychiatry Works
Care follows a clear process beginning with contact and an appropriate psychiatric evaluation.
- Book your appointment online, by phone, or through the contact page
- Receive a private, secure video link before your visit
- Meet with your clinician for evaluation, therapy, medication management, or follow-up care
- Continue virtually for ongoing care, monitoring, and progress reviews when clinically appropriate

Conditions Treated Through Online Psychiatry
Telepsychiatry may be appropriate for a range of mood, anxiety, attention, trauma-related, adjustment, behavioral, and grief-related concerns.
The treatment team determines whether online, in-person, emergency, or coordinated care is most appropriate for each patient.
Telepsychiatry may support care for depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, panic symptoms, adjustment concerns, and related conditions.
Services Available Through Florida Telepsychiatry
Care begins with an appropriate evaluation and continues according to the patient’s age, symptoms, history, needs, and treatment goals.
Adult Psychiatric Evaluation
A comprehensive assessment of symptoms, psychiatric history, previous treatment, daily functioning, concerns, and goals.
Medication Management
Ongoing prescribing, monitoring, side-effect review, follow-up, and treatment adjustments when clinically appropriate.
Psychotherapy
Structured support for emotional symptoms, coping, relationships, behavior patterns, grief, stress, and life transitions.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Age-appropriate psychiatric evaluation and ongoing care with parent or guardian involvement when appropriate.
Telepsychiatry may help eligible patients maintain care when location, travel, or scheduling makes in-person visits harder.
New York and Florida Continuity
Moving between New York and Florida can interrupt psychiatric treatment when a clinician is not licensed in both states. Telepsychiatry may help eligible adult patients preserve continuity when working with a clinician who is licensed where the patient is physically located.
This may be helpful for seasonal Florida residents, year-round Florida patients with family in New York, patients preparing for a move, and families whose lives regularly cross state lines.
Location must still be confirmed at every appointment.
Licensing, Privacy, and Patient Location
You Must Be Physically Located in Florida
For a Florida telepsychiatry appointment, the patient must be physically located in Florida at the time of the visit. A permanent Florida address does not replace the appointment-day location requirement.
Contact the practice before your appointment when traveling or when your location has changed. Florida visits are provided by clinicians who are appropriately licensed to treat patients in Florida.
Private Video Appointments
Visits take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Psychiatric records and appointment information receive the privacy protections applicable to online and in-person care.
Patients should also join from a private setting where they can speak comfortably without interruption.
