Telehealth

Telehealth offers many advantages over in-person medical consultations, especially for patients with mental health problems. Katrina Coulter, RN, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, of Psych Investments LLC in Grapevine, Texas, offers medication management and therapy using secure video link technology. You can benefit from convenient, easily accessible telehealth by calling Psych Investments LLC. You can also book an appointment using the online scheduling tool at any time.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a convenient way of accessing expert mental health treatment. Katrina uses secure video link technology that conforms to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), covering patient confidentiality.

You talk to Katrina via your laptop, PC, or mobile device. All you need is an internet connection, so you can attend your appointments from anywhere. Telehealth is suitable for all psychiatric disorders, including:

• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Postpartum depression

Telehealth offers an excellent alternative to in-person visits, especially for people with mental health problems.

What are the benefits of using telehealth?

Key benefits telehealth offers include:

Convenience

With a telehealth appointment, you don’t have to take so much time out of your day. Instead of allowing for preparation and travel time, you simply log in just before your appointment from wherever you are. That means you don’t have to leave work or arrange child care for several hours.

Cost savings

No traveling means no gas and parking expense or fees for traveling by public transport. In addition, you don’t have to take lengthy unpaid time off work or pay childcare costs.

Remote access

People with disabilities and those who live far from their therapist’s office might find it hard to organize transport. That is no longer a problem if you use telehealth.

Avoiding infection

People with immune system disorders or underlying health conditions are vulnerable to complications from colds, flu, and stomach bugs. With telehealth, you don’t have to risk contracting these diseases as there’s no contact with others.

Telehealth helps people with mental health problems avoid the stress and discomfort of leaving home when they feel very low. They can also continue with their therapy sessions even if they get sick.

What services are available with telehealth?

Katrina offers the same services via telehealth as she does in person. You undergo an initial evaluation, then attend regular therapy sessions using the telehealth platform. If you need medication, Katrina prescribes it electronically so you can collect it from your chosen pharmacy.

Accessing telehealth services is a simple process. You log in to a virtual waiting room shortly before your appointment. Then, when Katrina’s ready, she joins you, and your session begins.
