Telepsychiatry Services for Clinics in rural areas
Expanding Access to Rural Mental Health Care Get StartedA Mission for Mental Health Equity
At Segal Telepsychiatry Network, we believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care—no matter where they live.
For over a decade, we’ve partnered with clinics in rural Northern California to close the care gap and deliver consistent psychiatric support to underserved populations in Humboldt and Trinity counties. Through our longstanding relationship with Anchor Health Management in Mendocino County, we’ve seen firsthand how telepsychiatry can transform access, outcomes, and lives.
Now, we’re working to expand our reach across rural areas of California, Florida, and New York, staying true to our mission of delivering experienced, culturally responsive psychiatric care to the communities that need it most.

Why Rural Mental Health Matters
Accessing mental health care in rural communities across California, Florida, and New York remains a serious and persistent challenge.
-
Over 60% of rural Americans live in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals
-
Suicide rates are nearly twice as high in rural areas compared to urban regions
-
Transportation barriers, provider shortages, and stigma continue to keep many from getting the help they need
Across these states, rural clinics often face overwhelming demand with limited psychiatric resources. That’s where we come in.
By partnering with community health centers and rural clinics, we help reduce wait times, eliminate long-distance travel, and offer consistent psychiatric support that’s accessible and trustworthy.
We know that mental health equity isn’t just about delivering care—it’s about building relationships, understanding local needs, and showing up with consistency and compassion. That’s what we’ve done for over 10 years in places like Mendocino County, and that’s what we’re proud to expand across Humboldt, Trinity, and beyond.

What is telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is psychiatric care delivered through secure video appointments. It allows you to meet with a psychiatrist remotely to discuss symptoms, receive a psychiatric evaluation, and develop a treatment plan without needing to travel to an office.
What conditions can telepsychiatry help with?
Telepsychiatry can support people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood struggles, difficulty concentrating, emotional overwhelm, or other mental health symptoms that interfere with daily life.
What happens during a telepsychiatry appointment?
Appointments begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Your psychiatrist will ask about your symptoms, mental health history, lifestyle, and goals in order to understand what you are experiencing and develop a personalized treatment plan.
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?
Yes, research shows telepsychiatry can be just as effective as in-person care for many mental health conditions, especially for medication management and ongoing psychiatric follow-ups.
