Optum Psychiatrists in New York Include Online Therapists
Not only is online therapy effective, it also has other advantages. These include:
Convenience. No more commuting to and from a medical office, no more sitting in a waiting room reading outdated issues of Sports Illustrated. With Skypiatrist’s online therapy, you will never need to budget time and energy for commuting, and your appointment will always begin on time. Your psychiatrist can send prescriptions for any necessary medications to the pharmacy of your choice, and you can pick them up at a time that works for you. And you can even access therapy when you are out of town.
Privacy. Skypiatrist’s HIPAA-approved video chat application does not connect to a server, meaning that there is no “middleman.” Your device will be directly connected to your doctor’s computer, and only your doctor has access to your file. This is a level of privacy that exceeds that of most in-person practices.
Comfort. No fighting snow in winter and heat in summer, no worrying about what to wear, no need to deal with other patients and staff. You can feel relaxed at home in your own space.
