Compassionate care from the comfort of home.
Traveling to an office visit shouldn't be a barrier to getting exceptional psychiatric care. Whether you have a demanding work schedule, family commitments, mobility challenges, or simply prefer the privacy of your own home, our telepsychiatry services offer an alternative to visiting our Orland Park or Willowbrook office.
Virtual appointments are held one-on-one with your psychiatric provider by video.

How Your Telehealth Visit Works
Three simple steps to connect directly with your psychiatric provider.
Book & Complete Intake
Contact our office or request an appointment online. Please confirm your coverage with our office before your first visit, and ask which intake forms to complete.
Receive Your Visit Link
Complete your check-in once you receive your appointment confirmation; you will receive the telehealth link after check-in. If you do not receive it, select your provider's waiting room at the top of this page or call our office.
Meet With Your Provider
Have a thorough, collaborative discussion. Your provider will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you and, when appropriate, send prescriptions electronically.
Scope of Telepsychiatry Services
General guidance only; your provider will decide which type of visit is clinically appropriate for you.
- Depression & Mood Disorders: Initial consultations and ongoing medication monitoring.
- Anxiety, Panic & OCD: Evaluations, follow-up on your symptoms, and medication management.
- ADHD & Executive Function: Diagnostic evaluation and medication management when clinically appropriate.
- Sleep Difficulties & Insomnia: Evaluation of sleep concerns and medication management when clinically appropriate.
- Routine Medication Follow-Ups: Reviews of tolerability, side-effect screening, and dosage adjustment.
- Spravato® (Esketamine): Self-administered only in a REMS-certified healthcare setting under healthcare provider observation, with monitoring for at least 2 hours after each dose. Offered at our Orland Park and Willowbrook offices.
- TMS Therapy: Delivered in person using specialized magnetic stimulation equipment. TMS is offered at our Orland Park office. Ask our office about eligibility and next steps.
- Psychiatric Emergencies: Telehealth and office visits are not for emergencies. Call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
- Certain Controlled Substances: Federal and state rules may require an in-person visit before or during treatment with some controlled medications. Your provider will explain what applies to you.

Reliable Internet
Connect to a strong Wi-Fi network or stable cellular data connection for crisp video.

Frequently Asked Questions About Telepsychiatry
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry visits?
Coverage varies by plan. Please call our office to confirm whether your plan is accepted before your first visit.
Do I need to download specialized video software?
No. You do not need to install Zoom or other teleconferencing apps. Visits run in a modern mobile or desktop web browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Use the telehealth link you receive after check-in, or select your provider's virtual waiting room on this page.
Can I switch between virtual visits and in-office visits?
Ask our office. Depending on your clinical needs, your provider may recommend in-person visits, virtual visits, or a combination. Telehealth video visits are available for patients located in Illinois or Indiana during the visit. Availability varies by provider, and our office will confirm whether a video visit is right for you.
What if I experience a crisis outside of appointment hours?
Telehealth appointments are scheduled outpatient medical visits and do not provide emergency services. If you or a loved one is experiencing active suicidal thoughts, self-harm impulses, or a medical emergency, please call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
