​Consent to Telepsychiatry
Telepsychiatry allows you to receive psychiatric care through secure video conferencing, offering greater flexibility and access to treatment. Before beginning, it's important to understand both the benefits and potential limitations of this type of care.
​Benefits of Telepsychiatry:
-
Reduces wait time to see a specialist
-
Eliminates the need to travel to an office or distant location
-
Offers convenience and comfort by allowing sessions from your own home or private space
Risks and Limitations:
-
Video visits may not be as complete as in-person consultations
-
Technical issues (such as poor internet connection) may disrupt the session
-
While the platform used is HIPAA-compliant and secure, no system is 100% immune to potential security risks such as hacking—though the risk remains very low
-
If a telehealth session is not sufficient for your clinical needs, I will provide recommendations for next steps or alternate care
