When In-Person May Be Better

Telehealth works well for most psychiatric appointments, but an in-person visit at our Austin clinic may be recommended if you need:

  • A comprehensive psychological or neuropsychological evaluation
  • Procedures that require physical presence (e.g., Spravato® or TMS)
  • Lab work, vitals, or physical examination as part of your assessment
  • You or your provider feels that face-to-face care would be more effective
