Absolutely. In most cases, virtual psychiatry is as effective as in-person care (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). Your psychiatrist can provide an evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan.
Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care with Talkiatry isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.
It’s up to you! Depending on your needs, you may see your psychiatrist for several months, or you may benefit from more long-term ongoing treatment. Finding the right treatment option can take some time, but it’s always worth it. Your psychiatrist will work with you to set goals for your treatment so you know what to expect.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to medications. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment option that’s right for your needs.
That’s okay! Our psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment plan that’s right for you. If this doesn’t include medication, your psychiatrist can refer you to other treatment options, such as talk therapy. Sometimes we'll need to refer you to a therapist outside of Talkiatry.
We take our responsibility to safeguard our patients' privacy incredibly seriously. This commitment applies throughout each patient's journey at Talkiatry and after they leave our practice.
