Services
Telepsychiatry
Our telepsychiatry service connects patients with board-certified psychiatrists through secure video conferencing. This solution addresses provider shortages in rural hospitals and underserved communities. We offer medication evaluations, crisis interventions, and ongoing psychiatric management for adults and children.
Psychotherapy
Licensed therapists provide evidence-based psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral disorders. Sessions occur via telehealth or in-person at long-term care facilities. Our clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy and other proven approaches to improve patient outcomes.
Long-term Care Services
Psychiatric nurse practitioners visit skilled nursing facilities for medication management and mental health evaluations. Our team collaborates with facility staff to create individualized care plans for residents with chronic mental illness or dementia-related behavioral issues.
Crisis Intervention
We provide urgent psychiatric consultations for facilities requiring immediate mental health care. Our clinicians respond to behavioral emergencies outside regular hours, offering medication adjustments and stabilization strategies to prevent hospitalizations.
E-prescribing
Secure electronic prescribing system enables timely medication management for controlled and non-controlled substances. This service reduces administrative burdens for facilities while ensuring patients receive necessary psychiatric medications without delay.
