Frequently asked questions

What kind of treatment does Talkiatry provide for children and adolescents?

At Talkiatry, we specialize in psychiatry, meaning the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions. Your psychiatrist will meet with you and your child virtually on a schedule you set together, develop a treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific needs and preferences, and adjust your child’s plan as they meet their goals.  

If your child’s treatment plan includes medication, your child’s psychiatrist will prescribe and manage it. If needed, your child’s psychiatrist can also refer them to a Talkiatry therapist for supplemental therapy.

How old does my child have to be to see a Talkiatry psychiatrist?

We treat patients who are at least five years old.

How soon can my child see a psychiatrist?

Most Talkiatry patients have their first visit with a psychiatrist five days or less after completing our assessment.

Will my child see the same psychiatrist every time?

Yes, your child will continue to see the psychiatrist they’re matched with unless you decide to switch.

How long will my child’s visits be?

Your child’s first visit will be a 75-minute initial consultation that you will need to be present for. Follow-up visits are 45 minutes and your attendance is optional.
