Over 2 million Arizonans in mental-health shortage areas

According to federal HRSA data compiled by KFF, more than 2 million Arizonans live in designated Mental Health Care Health Professional Shortage Areas, where only about 10% of the need for providers is met. Telepsychiatry helps bridge that gap by reaching residents wherever they live in the state.

Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death in Arizona, a higher rank than the 10th-place national figure. Accessible virtual psychiatry can help close gaps in mental-health care across the state.

Arizona Medicaid broadly covers telehealth services

Arizona's Medicaid program (AHCCCS) covers all major forms of telehealth services — including live video, audio-only, and remote patient monitoring — making access to care more convenient for members, including for behavioral health. TelepsychHealth provides virtual psychiatry to Arizona residents.

Arizona law requires telehealth payment parity

Under Arizona's 2021 telehealth law (HB 2454), health insurers must reimburse providers at the same level of payment for equivalent services whether delivered through telehealth or in person. This parity makes virtual psychiatric care as financially accessible as an in-office visit.

Questions from Arizona patients

Why choose online psychiatry in Arizona?
Online psychiatry offers the same quality of care as in-person visits, without long commutes or waitlists. Our board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists deliver effective care entirely through secure video, and we walk every patient through the setup so technology is never a barrier.
Where in Arizona do you provide care?
Anywhere in the state. We see residents in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe, Yuma, and Flagstaff — and we specialize in rural mental health services, reaching Arizonans in remote communities where psychiatric care can be scarce.
What conditions can you treat?
We provide comprehensive virtual treatment for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, panic disorders, insomnia, adjustment disorders, and non-detox substance use disorders. Each plan is customized, with both medication management and therapy available.
How does telepsychiatry work in Arizona?
Telepsychiatry uses secure videoconferencing to deliver psychiatric care remotely. In Arizona it is legally recognized, HIPAA-compliant, and just as effective as in-person sessions, covering psychiatric evaluations, medication prescriptions and adjustments, talk therapy, and ongoing support.
Do you take my insurance in Arizona?
We partner with major insurers including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum Behavioral Health, and we verify your specific benefits before your first appointment so you know exactly what's covered. Self-pay is also available.
Do you offer group therapy?
Yes. We hold group therapy every Wednesday at 10:00 AM MST, led by a licensed therapist and focused on mood disorders using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It's a cost-effective option for affordable therapy in Arizona.

Care by condition in Arizona

Online treatment for depression in Arizona

Depression is one of the most common reasons people across Arizona reach out to us, and it responds well to care you can begin from home. After a secure video evaluation, your Arizona-licensed provider builds a plan that may include therapy, non-controlled medication, or both, with regular follow-ups to see how you're doing. Prescriptions go to your local pharmacy, and you can stay in touch through our secure app between visits.

Anxiety care by video, wherever you are

Constant worry, racing thoughts, and physical tension can make daily life in Arizona harder than it needs to be. Your provider takes time to understand what you're experiencing, then works with you on evidence-based treatment that can combine talk therapy and non-controlled medication. Care continues by video, so it's easier to stay consistent whether you're in the Valley, in Tucson, or far from the nearest clinic.

Ongoing medication management and therapy

If you already have a diagnosis, or a medication that isn't quite working, you don't have to start over. Our Arizona-licensed prescribers review your current regimen, adjust doses, switch when side effects get in the way, and monitor how you respond over time, all by secure video. We prescribe FDA-approved, non-controlled medications sent electronically to your local pharmacy.
