What to expect
What to expect from a telepsychiatry visit, step by step.
1. Before your visit
Book through one of the practices, complete intake forms, and confirm insurance. Visits use secure video through the practice's telehealth platform.
2. Initial evaluation
A thorough conversation about your mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being, your history, and what you hope to change. The initial intake is about 40 minutes.
3. A shared plan
We'll talk through options together, and you decide what feels right. Medication is one option, never a requirement.
4. Follow-ups
Regular check-ins so we can see how things are going and make changes as needed. Follow-ups are about 20 minutes, and follow-up frequency is set together based on your plan.
Visit length may vary based on each patient's needs. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera. You must be located in Michigan at the time of your visit.
