What is Telehealth?
Telehealth (also known as virtual therapy or teletherapy) allows you to receive psychiatry and psychotherapy services through a confidential live video connection. You receive the same high-quality services as you would during an in-person appointment. We are proud to provide these services to patients across all of Florida.
How does Telehealth work?
You can be in touch with your provider anytime you have an internet-enabling device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Meeting through a secure video platform is simple and safe and allows privacy.

- Services: We offer a full range of virtual services, including individual and group therapy.
- Current Patients: If you are an established patient and wish to switch an in-person appointment to virtual, please contact our office at least 72 hours in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a telehealth psychiatrist prescribe meds?
Yes, a telehealth psychiatrist can prescribe many medications after completing an appropriate evaluation. However, prescribing rules vary by medication, location, and current regulations. Controlled medications may have additional requirements, so eligibility should be confirmed during the appointment.
What is the 3 month rule in mental health?
The “3-month rule” is not a universal mental health guideline. Its meaning can vary depending on the context, such as medication monitoring, follow-up schedules, or insurance requirements. A psychiatrist can explain whether a specific three-month rule applies to your situation.
Can I find an online psychiatrist who can prescribe Xanax?
Some psychiatrists provide online evaluations and may prescribe medications when clinically appropriate. However, Xanax (alprazolam) is a controlled substance with specific prescribing requirements. Availability through telehealth depends on current laws, regulations, and the psychiatrist’s professional judgment.
How much does a virtual psychiatrist cost?
Virtual psychiatry costs vary based on location, provider experience, appointment length, insurance coverage, and whether the visit is an initial evaluation or follow-up. Before scheduling, ask about consultation fees, insurance acceptance, medication management costs, and any additional charges.
What is the best telehealth psychiatry?
The best telehealth psychiatry option depends on your needs, including the conditions you want help managing, medication preferences, availability, insurance, cost, and licensing requirements. Look for qualified psychiatric professionals who offer secure telehealth appointments and personalized follow-up care.
