Telepsychiatry in Maryland
R&K Wellness Group offers telepsychiatry services for adults in Maryland when clinically appropriate and legally permitted. Telepsychiatry allows patients to meet with a psychiatric provider through a secure video visit for evaluation, follow-up care, and medication management.
Telehealth can make psychiatric care more accessible for patients balancing work, family, transportation, medical concerns, or busy schedules. It can also help support continuity of care between visits.
Who Telepsychiatry Is For
Telepsychiatry may be appropriate for adults seeking support with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood symptoms, sleep concerns, stress, burnout, or substance use-related concerns.
Telepsychiatry may be a good fit for patients who are clinically stable, able to participate in video visits, located in Maryland during the appointment, and able to follow the treatment plan safely.
What to Expect
A telepsychiatry appointment is similar to an in-person psychiatric visit. We review symptoms, current medications, treatment history, medical conditions, safety concerns, goals, side effects, and progress since the last visit.
Initial visits may involve a more detailed evaluation. Follow-up visits usually focus on symptom changes, medication response, side effects, functioning, and next steps.
When In-Person or Higher-Level Care May Be Needed
Telepsychiatry is not appropriate for every situation. Some patients may need in-person evaluation, urgent care, emergency services, intensive outpatient treatment, hospitalization, or coordination with other medical professionals.
If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, unsafe, or medically complicated, we may recommend a different level of care to ensure safety and appropriate treatment.
Medication Management Through Telehealth
When clinically appropriate, medication management may be provided through telehealth. Treatment decisions are based on the patient’s diagnosis, medical history, safety considerations, medication risks and benefits, prior response, and follow-up needs.
Some medications may require additional monitoring, records, labs, vitals, in-person evaluation, or coordination with other providers.
