East Coast Telepsychiatry

East Coast Telepsychiatry provides online psychiatric care and therapy through secure video visits. Our team helps adults and families explore care options for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related symptoms, sleep concerns, and other mental health needs.

Telehealth appointments are designed to make it easier to connect with care from a private place that works for you. During an initial visit, your provider can discuss your concerns, review your health history, and recommend an individualized next step. Ongoing care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy, care coordination, or a referral when a different level of support is appropriate.

Online Care Across Six States

We serve patients who are physically located in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, and New York at the time of their appointment. Visit our provider page to learn about the team, or review insurance and self-pay information before booking.

What to Expect From Telepsychiatry

A virtual appointment begins with a private video connection and a conversation about what brought you to care. Your provider may ask about symptoms, sleep, stress, medications, medical history, relationships, work or school, and goals for treatment. You are welcome to bring questions and describe what has or has not helped in the past. Sharing only what feels comfortable is okay, and your provider can explain recommendations before you decide on next steps.

Psychiatric care may include an evaluation, medication-management follow-up, monitoring for benefits and side effects, or coordination with other members of your care team. Therapy may focus on practical coping skills, patterns of thinking and behavior, communication, motivation, grief, stress, or other goals. The right approach depends on your needs, preferences, history, and the provider’s clinical assessment. If our services are not the right fit, we can help you identify a more appropriate resource when possible.

Find the Right Starting Point

People often begin by exploring a concern rather than a diagnosis. Our condition guides explain common symptoms, related concerns, and available care options in plain language. You can also browse our mental health articles for practical information about anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep, relationships, wellness, and telehealth. These resources are intended to support informed conversations, not to label or diagnose anyone.

When you are ready, the appointments page explains how to choose a provider and request a visit. New patients should be prepared to share their current location, contact information, insurance or self-pay preference, medications, and the main reason they are seeking care. You should be physically located in a state where the selected provider is licensed during the appointment. Confirming these details early helps avoid delays.

Free Mental Health Screenings

Our free, private self-screening tools can help you reflect on symptoms and prepare for a conversation with a qualified professional. They are educational tools, not diagnoses or emergency services. We offer screenings for depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, sleep concerns, mood changes, and more.

Privacy, Access, and Support

Telehealth can reduce travel and make follow-up care easier to fit into a busy schedule, but a reliable internet connection, camera, microphone, and private space are important. Use a device you can keep secure, avoid joining from a public place, and let your provider know if you need an accommodation. Review our privacy information and ask questions about fees, insurance, appointment length, cancellation policies, and communication between visits before starting care.

Mental health treatment is personal, and seeking help does not require waiting until symptoms become severe. A first conversation can help clarify options even when you are unsure whether medication, therapy, or another resource is right for you. Support from a trusted person may also be useful, while your care decisions remain your own.

If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department. Our online services are not a substitute for emergency care.

If these resources could help someone you know, you can share this page through your preferred service.
