Online Psychiatric Care in Colorado

Telepsychiatry is the delivery of psychiatric care through secure video conferencing. In Colorado, telepsychiatry is a fully legal and widely accepted form of mental health treatment that offers the same quality of care as in-person visits.

During a telepsychiatry appointment, you'll meet with a licensed psychiatrist via secure video from your home, office, or any private location with internet access. Your psychiatrist can diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, provide supportive therapy, and create comprehensive treatment plans - all through a virtual platform.

Colorado residents benefit from: No travel time, flexible scheduling, access to specialists regardless of your location in the state, and complete confidentiality through HIPAA-compliant platforms.

We offer standard psychiatry services for adults 18+ located in Colorado. This includes assessment, diagnosis, prescription medication, and supportive therapy for all common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.

Our Colorado telepsychiatry practice specializes in treating:

• Depression - Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder

• Anxiety Disorders - Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias

• PTSD - Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma-related conditions

• OCD - Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Important Note: We do not prescribe controlled substances (like benzodiazepines or stimulants). Our focus is on effective, non-controlled medication options combined with supportive psychiatric care.

Many of our patients comment on their experience with us being more considerate than their previous mental healthcare experiences. We spend more time with our patients than the typical psychiatry encounter as reported by our patients. We are also dedicated to staying informed on the latest evidence in treatments for mental health. We pride ourselves on being kind, compassionate, and informed, so we can give the best care and help give the best guidance to our patients.

Yes! Colorado law requires most insurance plans to cover telepsychiatry services at the same rate as in-person psychiatric visits. This means your copay, coinsurance, and deductible apply the same way they would for a traditional office visit.

We accept most major insurance plans including:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado

• Anthem

• Cigna

• Aetna

• Quest

We recommend verifying your specific coverage by calling the number on the back of your insurance card and asking about "telepsychiatry" or "telehealth mental health services." However, we are happy to work with you to determine insurance eligibility with us prior to your first appointment.

We are in-network with most of the following commercial insurance plans in Colorado:

• Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield

• Cigna

• Aetna

• Carelon

• Quest Behavioral Health

We are in the process of credentialing with United Healthcare.

We can provide superbills for potential reimbursement for out-of-network benefits.

We are unable to work with patients with Medicare or Medicaid at this time.

No! That's the beauty of telepsychiatry. Whether you're in Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, Boulder, Lakewood, Thornton, or any rural community across Colorado, you can access our services. As long as you're physically located in Colorado at the time of your appointment and have a reliable internet connection, we can provide care.

This is particularly valuable for residents of rural Colorado communities who may have limited access to psychiatric specialists in their area.
