Telehealth psychiatry—also known as telepsychiatry—is the delivery of therapeutic services through secure video-based technology. This approach allows patients to meet with their clinician remotely for evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care.
Psychiatric care provided via telehealth follows the same clinical standards as in-person visits for many mental health conditions. Research and clinical experience consistently show that virtual psychiatry appointments can be highly effective, while offering increased flexibility and reduced barriers to care.
Telehealth psychiatry is not a shortcut. It is a clinically sound, patient-centered option for receiving professional psychiatric support.
Telehealth psychiatry offers a secure and effective way to receive high-quality psychiatric care remotely. At Restorative Psychiatry, our telehealth services deliver the same thoughtful, individualized care you would expect from an in-person visit, through a private, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Telehealth psychiatry supports continuity, accessibility, and collaboration, enabling patients to receive care from the comfort of their homes. Virtual services are available to clients in approved states, including those served through our San Francisco and Manhattan practices.
Telepsychiatry can address many of the same concerns as in-person care. We help patients throughout Manhattan and San Francisco with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including:
Our care recommendations are always individualized and developed with a focus on avoiding clinical overreach.Â
Restorative Psychiatry offers telehealth services in Manhattan and San Francisco that are fully integrated with our broader care model, ensuring continuity of care whether delivered virtually or in person.
We provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments designed to understand a patient’s symptoms, history, and individual concerns. These evaluations help clarify diagnoses, explore treatment options, and support informed decision-making, including second opinions when appropriate.
Medication management through telehealth is approached thoughtfully and collaboratively, with careful consideration of benefits, risks, and individual preferences. Ongoing monitoring allows for adjustments over time, supporting stability, effectiveness, and long-term progress.
Remote services may include evidence-based therapeutic approaches, creating a more comprehensive treatment experience. Options can include CBT-I for insomnia as well as holistic, lifestyle-informed strategies that support mental health beyond medication alone.
Telehealth psychiatry offers meaningful advantages while maintaining clinical integrity:
Rather than focusing solely on convenience, telehealth is used as a practical, patient-centered tool to provide consistent support.
Telehealth psychiatry may be a good fit for individuals who value privacy, comfort, and flexible care coordination. In-person visits may be more appropriate in certain clinical situations or based on individual needs.
At Restorative Psychiatry, treatment recommendations are guided by what is therapeutically appropriate, not just what is the easiest option. When needed, we will discuss whether virtual or in-person care is the best option for your situation.
Restorative Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatry services to clients in San Francisco and Manhattan. Telehealth enables us to help more patients across the country while adhering to professional licensing and state eligibility requirements. Availability depends on the clinician’s licensure and the patient’s location at the time of care.
Whether you are new to Restorative Psychiatry or continuing treatment, telehealth psychiatry offers a safe, professional way to connect with your clinician. Confidentiality, individualized services, and clinical integrity remain central to every appointment.
