Psychiatric Care From Wherever You Are in New York.
SolaceSpring Psychiatry provides telepsychiatry for eligible patients in New York, making it possible to connect with psychiatric care through secure virtual appointments without traveling to a traditional office.
What Is Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is a way of providing psychiatric care remotely through telecommunications technology. Instead of traveling to a physical office, eligible patients can connect with a psychiatric provider from another location.
A virtual psychiatric appointment can provide an opportunity to discuss mental health symptoms, treatment history, medications, concerns, daily functioning and treatment goals.
Depending on your clinical needs, telepsychiatry may be used for an initial psychiatric evaluation, medication management, personalized treatment planning, follow up psychiatric care or a second opinion consultation.
Virtual Care, Individualized to You
Telehealth changes where the appointment takes place. It does not remove the importance of careful psychiatric evaluation, individualized clinical decision making and ongoing follow up.
