Mobile’s Telepsych Program was designed to increase the availability and ease of access to quality mental health care.
Modeled after our Mobile Primary Care platform and utilizing our existing Telemed technology, our Telepsych program allows us to bridge the gap between patient and provider and bring the full suite of psychiatric medicine to any patient, anywhere.
You do not have to suffer alone. Please contact us today to inquire about our Telepsych services.
If you are currently experiencing a crisis and need immediate assistance, please contact WNY 24 Hour Crisis Services at 716-834-3131.
We have modified our telemedicine platform to allow for secure video chat.
Our Telepsych units feature high definition screens and cameras which will allow a patient to see and speak directly to their mental health professional as if they were in the office.
Once connected, a traditional psychiatric session can take place.
Our professionals specialize in providing individualized treatment for all ages:
• Children (Ages 3 and older)
• Adolescents
• Adults
• Elderly
Elderly and home-limited patients often do not have the transportation or resources to access the mental health care they need.
Students and on-the-go parents may not have the time or provider availability for traditional office visits, especially in more rural areas.
Patients may also be uncomfortable pursuing mental health care due to societal standards.
Video-based telepsychiatry helps meet patients’ needs for convenient, affordable and readily-accessible mental health services.
Telepsych can benefit patients in a number of ways, such as:
• Improve access to mental health specialty care that might not otherwise be available (e.g., in rural areas)
• Reduce the need for time off work, childcare services, etc. to access appointments far away
• Reduce potential transportation barriers, such as lack of transportation or the need for long drives
• Help integrate behavioral health care and primary care, leading to better overall outcomes
• Reduce delays in care
• Reduce the barrier of stigma
• Improve continuity of care and follow-up
Telepsych vists for students can be scheduled during normal school hours in the nurses office. Parents will not need to be present or taken time off work.
