Is telepsychiatry secure?
Telepsychiatry sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA compliant video platforms designed to protect patient privacy.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, symptom severity, and treatment goals. Some patients benefit from ongoing long-term support, while others improve with shorter-term stabilization.
Is online psychiatry as effective as in-person treatment?
