Providers are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat complex mental health conditions, often through medication management. If you’re experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or similar conditions, seeing a Provider may be a good first step.

You may benefit from seeing a Providers if:

• Your primary care doctor or another provider has recommended it.
• You are considering medication for a mental health condition.
• Your symptoms are severe enough to regularly interfere with daily life.

Therapists include a range of professionals such as social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts. Therapy typically involves regular sessions focused on discussing emotions, problem-solving, and learning coping strategies to manage mental health challenges.

Yes! In most cases, virtual psychiatry is just as effective as in-person care (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). your providers can conduct an evaluation, provide a diagnosis, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Our goal is to connect you with the best care for your needs. In some cases, virtual treatment may not be the right fit. If that’s the case, your providers will recommend alternative options during your first visit.

It depends on your needs! Some people see their providers for a few months, while others benefit from long-term ongoing care. Finding the right treatment plan takes time, but it’s always worth it. Your providers will work with you to set treatment goals so you know what to expect.
