Meet our psychiatristsAbsolutely. In most cases, virtual psychiatry is as effective as in-person care (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). Your psychiatrist can provide an evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan.
Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care with Talkiatry isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.
Psychiatrists are doctors who have specialized training in diagnosing and treating complex mental health conditions through medication management. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or similar, a psychiatrist may be a good place to start.
Other signs that you should see a psychiatrist include:
The term “therapist” can apply to a range of professionals including social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts. Working with a therapist generally involves regular talk therapy sessions where you discuss your feelings, problem-solving strategies, and coping mechanisms to help with your condition.
We take our responsibility to safeguard our patients' privacy incredibly seriously. This commitment applies throughout each patient's journey at Talkiatry and after they leave our practice.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to medications. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment option that’s right for your needs.
That’s okay! Our psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment plan that’s right for you. If this doesn’t include medication, your psychiatrist can refer you to other treatment options, such as talk therapy. Sometimes we'll need to refer you to a therapist outside of Talkiatry.
