Online Psychiatric Care Anywhere in California

How telehealth visits work

  • โœ“Book online through the secure IntakeQ portal and complete your intake forms before the visit
  • โœ“Join by secure video from a phone, tablet, or computer
  • โœ“Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy
  • โœ“Follow-ups are by video too, or in person in San Jose on Tuesdays if you prefer

Getting ready for your visit

Find a private, quiet spot. Check that your camera, speaker, and microphone work and that your internet connection is strong. Log in 5 to 10 minutes early.

What can be treated online

Most psychiatric care works well by video, including ADHD in children, teens, and adults, anxiety, panic, and test anxiety, depression and burnout, bipolar disorder, and ongoing medication management. Patients log in from San Jose, the rest of the Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, and everywhere in between, as long as they are in California at the time of the visit.

Common questions

For most conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, and depression, research shows telehealth psychiatric care works about as well as in-person care.
No. BrainHelp is licensed in California only, so you need to be physically in the state at your appointment time. The visit can be rescheduled.
Often, yes. Some ADHD medications are controlled substances with extra prescribing rules. If an in-person visit is needed, it can be done at the San Jose office.
