One of the most significant advancements in psychiatric care over the years is the popularity of telepsychiatry among mental health professionals and their patients. Indeed, there are plenty of benefits to receiving online therapy, for all kinds of persons.

Lack of access has always been one of the biggest hindrances to receiving mental health services in Texas. Some patients, particularly those who live in rural areas, may find it hard to meet up in person with psychologists and psychiatrists. No need to take time off work and school or use public transportation.

The stigma against being thought of as crazy may also stop individuals from going to mental health clinics, for fear of being seen by someone they know. Being able to receive telehealth services in San Antonio, Texas from the privacy of their own homes or even their own bedrooms, may lessen this fear enough for them to seek help.

At NORTHRIDGE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH we understand the concerns of persons with mental health problems, so we put plenty of consideration and effort into improving our telepsychiatry services. Now we can do audio and video mental online therapy sessions over whatever internet-ready device the patient has handy, from cellular phones to desktop computers.

We can conduct psychiatric evaluation sessions and follow-up sessions remotely, for the convenience of our patients. And we can send medicine prescriptions electronically as well. The best mental health care in Texas has never been this accessible. Call us today at 210-475-3048 to schedule your first appointment.
