Our services
Process
Our clinical approach begins with a comprehensive, structured assessment conducted via secure video consultation. Our licensed providers follow evidence-based guidelines, such as the DSM-5-TR criteria, to evaluate the nature, duration, and impact of symptoms like persistent worry, restlessness, and sleep disturbances. This initial evaluation, which typically takes 45-60 minutes, allows us to differentiate between generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and other conditions. Based on this assessment, we develop a personalized management plan, which may include referrals for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), discussion of FDA-approved medications like SSRIs, and guidance on lifestyle modifications. For ongoing support, we also provide resources on managing related conditions, such as ADHD Symptoms.
Local Considerations — USA
The presentation and management of anxiety can be influenced by regional factors across the United States. Urban centers often have higher reported rates of anxiety disorders, potentially linked to lifestyle and environmental stressors, while access to specialized mental health providers varies significantly between metropolitan and rural areas. Our telehealth model is designed to bridge these gaps, offering consistent, high-quality care whether a patient is in a major coastal city or a less populated region. We adapt our resource network and referral pathways to connect patients with local therapists and psychiatrists in their state, ensuring follow-up care complies with state licensing regulations. This national yet localized approach is a core part of our service in major hubs and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the initial assessment for anxiety involve?
The assessment is a detailed clinical interview conducted by a licensed provider via secure video. We review your medical history, specific symptoms (like worry, fatigue, or panic attacks), their duration, and how they impact your daily life, using standardized tools to inform a personalized care plan.
Can you prescribe medication for anxiety through telehealth?
Yes, our licensed providers can prescribe medications when clinically appropriate. This includes common treatments like SSRIs or SNRIs. Prescribing is always based on a comprehensive evaluation and follows strict state and federal regulations, with certain controlled substances requiring an in-person visit.
How soon can I be seen for an anxiety consultation?
Appointments are typically available within 24-48 hours, often on the same day. We prioritize timely access to reduce wait times, which is crucial for individuals experiencing significant distress from anxiety symptoms.
How much does an anxiety consultation cost in the USA?
The cost depends on factors like consultation length, complexity, and your insurance coverage. For self-pay patients, initial evaluations typically range from $100 to $200. We recommend verifying your insurance benefits or contacting our team for a specific cost estimate based on your individual needs.
