Questions from Georgia patients

Do you take my insurance in Georgia?
We're in-network with major Georgia plans including Aetna, Anthem of Georgia, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare / Optum, and we verify your specific benefits before your first appointment. Don't see your plan? Contact us to confirm coverage or discuss self-pay options.
Where in Georgia do you provide care?
Anywhere within Georgia — whether you're in Atlanta, Columbus, Savannah, Roswell, Johns Creek, or a rural town. All visits are online with a Georgia-licensed provider, so you simply need to be physically located in the state during your visit.
How soon can I be seen in Georgia?
Most new Georgia patients are scheduled within the week. Request an appointment online and complete intake on your own schedule — no travel and no long waitlists.
Can an online psychiatrist in Georgia prescribe medication?
Yes. Our Georgia-licensed psychiatric providers manage medication and coordinate it with therapy as a single plan, in line with Georgia Composite Medical Board rules. Controlled substances carry stricter requirements, and we focus on evidence-based, non-controlled treatment options.
Is an in-person visit required before using telepsychiatry in Georgia?
Not always. Under Georgia's telemedicine rules, a face-to-face meeting is not mandated simply because the visit is virtual, as long as the standard of care is met.
What regulations govern telepsychiatry in Georgia?
Telepsychiatry in Georgia must meet the same standard of care as in-person treatment. Providers comply with Georgia Composite Medical Board rules (including GA Rule 360-3-.07) and state licensing laws, and they maintain patient records and clear follow-up instructions.

Care by condition in Georgia

Online therapy in Georgia, paired with psychiatric care

A lot of Georgians want to talk to someone before, or instead of, starting medication. You can see a licensed therapist by secure video and, if it helps, coordinate with a psychiatric provider in the same practice, so talk therapy and any medication follow one plan rather than two disconnected ones. You choose the pace, and your provider adjusts as you go.

Depression treatment by video

Depression is one of the most common reasons Georgians reach out to us. After a video evaluation, your Georgia-licensed provider builds a plan that can include therapy, non-controlled medication, or both, with follow-ups to see what is working and change course when it is not. Any prescriptions go electronically to your local pharmacy.

Anxiety care that fits your week

Whether it shows up as constant worry, panic, or trouble sleeping, anxiety is treatable and does not require an in-person clinic. Your Georgia-licensed provider evaluates what is driving it and recommends evidence-based care, which may combine therapy skills with non-controlled medication, reviewed and adjusted over time.

Georgia — common questions

Can I get virtual therapy in Georgia, not just medication?

Yes. You can start with a licensed therapist by secure video, and if medication might help, a psychiatric provider in the same practice can be part of your plan. Many Georgians use therapy on its own, and you are never required to start medication to be seen.

Do you serve the Atlanta area with telehealth?

Yes. Because all of our care is by secure video, we treat residents across metro Atlanta and the rest of Georgia the same way. There is no clinic to drive to, so you can meet your Georgia-licensed provider from home on a schedule that works for you.

Can a Georgia telehealth provider treat depression online?

Yes. Depression is one of the most common reasons Georgians start care with us. After a video evaluation, your Georgia-licensed provider can recommend therapy, non-controlled medication, or both, and follows up regularly to adjust the plan as you improve.
