From everyday struggles to complex diagnoses
Providers licensed to care for you in Minnesota
Having treated Minnesotans for years, our team knows how hard it can be to find a psychiatrist here — through no fault of patients. The Minnesota Department of Health reports that 80% of Minnesota counties qualify as mental health professional shortage areas, and that psychiatrists are in short supply across rural parts of the state. TelepsychHealth is owned and operated by doctors who take the time to educate patients and families about their diagnosis and treatment — bringing board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric NPs and PAs, and licensed therapists to people across the state.
Minnesota telehealth policy milestones
Notable telehealth and mental-health policy milestones in Minnesota — how access to online psychiatric care has expanded for residents here.
Minnesota law requires telehealth coverage and payment parity
The Minnesota Telehealth Act, enacted in the 2021 special session and applying to plans issued on or after January 1, 2022, requires health carriers to cover services delivered through telehealth in the same manner as any other covered benefit — a carrier cannot deny coverage solely because a service was delivered virtually. Carriers must reimburse providers for covered telehealth services on the same basis and at the same rate as in-person care, and your deductible, copay or coinsurance for a telehealth visit cannot exceed what the same service would cost in person. The statute has been amended since, most recently in 2025, which extended audio-only telehealth coverage through July 1, 2027.

Minnesota allows patient-physician relationships to form over video
Minnesota's telehealth practice statute — first enacted in 2017 and rewritten by the 2021 Minnesota Telehealth Act — provides that a physician-patient relationship may be established through telehealth. Residents anywhere in the state can begin psychiatric and therapy care by real-time, two-way interactive video, with physicians held to the same standards of practice and conduct as they are for in-person visits.

Minnesota holds 145 federally designated mental health shortage areas
Federal data from the Health Resources and Services Administration counts 145 designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas in Minnesota as of December 31, 2025 — geographic areas, population groups and facilities where psychiatric prescribers are too scarce for the population. About 24.9% of the designated need is met statewide, and HRSA estimates 114 additional practitioners would be needed to lift those designations. Virtual psychiatry reaches patients in places where local openings are scarce.

80% of Minnesota counties are mental health shortage areas
The Minnesota Department of Health reports that 80 percent of Minnesota counties qualify as mental health professional shortage areas, that most of the state's licensed providers practice in metropolitan areas, and that psychiatrists are in short supply in rural Minnesota. The same report finds rural clinicians are older and closer to retirement, with 22% of isolated-rural physicians planning to leave the profession within five years. Care delivered by secure video is not limited by where a clinician's office happens to sit.
