How Telehealth Works

Our mental health therapy and most of our psychiatry medication management appointments are conducted by telehealth, available exclusively to patients in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our psychiatrists can also meet you at one of our office locations. Telehealth allows you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your home, eliminating the need to travel and making it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. It also ensures continuity of care, even during busy times or unexpected life events. Our secure HIPAA-compliant platform allows you to connect with licensed therapists so you can receive high-quality personalized support.

You can maximize the benefits of mental health therapy by:

• Ensuring you have a stable internet connection for video sessions
• Creating a private, quiet space free from distractions
• Familiarizing yourself with the technology before your first session
• Communicating openly with your provider about any concerns or technical difficulties

FAQs

Q. What happens during my first therapy session?

A. In your first session, your therapist will get to know you — your concerns, your goals, and what you’d like help with. It’s a comfortable conversation where you can share as much or as little as you’d like. Together, you’ll start creating a plan that feels right for you.

Q. How often should I come to therapy?

A. Most people see their therapist weekly to build momentum and see progress. We recommend scheduling a reoccurring time to meet with your therapist each week. 

Q. How do I message my therapist ?

A. To ensure insurance coverage, visits with a dietitian nutritionist cannot be scheduled on the same day as appointments with other providers. Most insurance will only cover one visit per day.

Q. Do therapists prescribe medication?

A. Our licensed therapists provide talk therapy and emotional support. If medication might help, we can connect you with one of our trusted psychiatric providers to coordinate care.

Q. Can I switch therapists if I don’t feel it’s a good fit?

A. Absolutely. A strong connection with your therapist is key to progress. If you ever feel your therapist isn’t the right match, just let us know — we’ll help you find someone who better fits your needs and style.
