Whether you are at home, in a private office, or traveling within the state, you can maintain your treatment momentum without the stress of a commute.

Common Questions About Telehealth Psychiatry in Illinois
Is telepsychiatry as effective as in-person visits?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that for the vast majority of psychiatric conditions, telepsychiatry is just as effective as in-person care. It allows for better attendance and more frequent check-ins, which often results in better patient outcomes.
What technology do I need for an online psychiatric visit?
You only need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a working camera and microphone, along with a stable internet connection. We will send you a secure link via email or text; there is no complicated software to download.
Can you prescribe medication during a telehealth appointment?
Yes. We provide remote medication management in Illinois, and prescriptions are sent electronically to your local pharmacy. Please note that certain controlled substances may have specific state and federal regulations regarding virtual prescriptions, which we will discuss during your visit.
Are virtual sessions covered by insurance?
Many insurance providers in Illinois now cover telepsychiatry at the same rate as in-office visits. We recommend checking with your specific plan to confirm your coverage for "telehealth behavioral health services."
What if I live outside of Chicago?
As long as you are physically located within the state of Illinois at the time of your appointment, we can provide care. Our telepsychiatry in Chicago extends our reach to patients in rural areas or other cities who may not have access to specialized psychiatric providers locally.
