Your full care journey

Step 1

Complete your intake form

Start with a short online intake — takes about 5 minutes. Tell us about your mental health concerns, current medications, insurance information, and scheduling preferences. Your information is kept confidential in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.

Step 2

Meet your matched psychiatrist

Based on your intake, we match you with a board-certified psychiatrist suited to your needs and state of residence. Your first appointment is a 50-minute video session where your psychiatrist listens, asks questions, and begins building your picture of care.

Step 3

Receive your personalized care plan

Together with your psychiatrist, you'll explore treatment options that may work for your situation — which may include medication management, therapy referral coordination, or both. You are a partner in every decision. Nothing is prescribed without your understanding and agreement.

Step 4

Ongoing check-ins & prescription refills

After your initial appointment, ongoing care continues with shorter 15-minute follow-up sessions. Your psychiatrist monitors your progress, adjusts medication if needed, and provides prescription refills — all without requiring you to leave home.
