Virtual Psychiatry Services
Telehealth Psychiatry Services in Colorado Springs and Monument
In recent years, virtual medical visits have become more and more common. Patients and providers alike have become accustomed to online visits, including online psychiatry and therapy.
At Colorado Psychiatry Solutions, we strive to meet our patients’ needs wherever it is convenient for them – whether at one of our four clinic locations in Colorado Springs and Monument or on their phone, tablet or computer.
Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, or another condition, virtual care can help you receive the support you need and make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule.
What Is TelePsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is also referred to as virtual psychiatry, online psychiatry, or simply telehealth. It allows you to meet with your therapist or psychiatric provider through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive the same level of care you would during a visit at one of our clinics. Your provider will be able to assess current needs, provide medication management, answer questions, and conduct follow-up visits.
Our telehealth services include psychiatric care and virtual therapy services with one of our in-house licensed therapists.
Benefits of Virtual Psychiatry Appointments
Many patients in Colorado Springs choose virtual psychiatry appointments because they are easier to fit into a busy schedule. Other popular reasons include:
-
-
- Convenience: You can skip the drive, avoid traffic, and still have a productive visit with your therapist or provider from virtually any location.
-
- Privacy: Some patients prefer the added privacy of having visits in the confidentiality of their own home, car, or other private location.
-
- Continuity: Virtual visits provide flexibility to allow you to stay on track with treatment even when traveling, when you are sick, or when we are snowed in during one of those notorious Colorado Springs winter storms.
-
- Accessibility: Virtual visits make care more accessible for patients living in rural areas of Colorado or those with mobility challenges or who lack transportation. Colorado Psychiatry Solutions is licensed to provide virtual mental health visits to all residents of Colorado, regardless of location.

When Is an In-Person Visit Recommended?
We encourage new patients seeking psychiatric evaluation to schedule an in-person appointment whenever possible, especially for medication management or more complex diagnoses. This allows our team to conduct a more thorough assessment and build a stronger therapeutic foundation. However, we understand that in-person visits may not always be possible and exceptions can be made. Please contact our office at 719-622-6522 if you have questions about scheduling your visit.
For therapy patients, you do not need to see a medical provider first in order to participate in a virtual therapy visit. We offer virtual therapy intakes as an option so that you can get started with one of our in-house therapists right away.
What to Expect During a Virtual Psychiatry Appointment
Your virtual psychiatry session at Colorado Psychiatry Solutions is similar to an in-person visit. You will need to use your phone, computer or tablet to login to our online platform. Once connected with your therapist or provider, the format of the visit will look similar to an in-person visit at our clinic. We will:
-
-
- Review your symptoms and mental health history
- Discuss your goals and concerns
- Provide or adjust a treatment plan, which may include medications, therapy, or lifestyle recommendations.
- If TMS, ketamine therapy, or SPRAVATO treatment are included in your care plan, those appointments will take place at one of our four convenient locations in Colorado Springs or Monument
