Online Psychiatric Care Anywhere in California
You don't have to live near San Jose to be seen at BrainHelp. Evaluations, medication management, and follow-ups are available by secure video, 7 days a week.
How telehealth visits work
- โBook online through the secure IntakeQ portal and complete your intake forms before the visit
- โJoin by secure video from a phone, tablet, or computer
- โPrescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy
- โFollow-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.
Care that fits your life
Appointments that work around classes, clinical shifts, and full-time jobs.
No traffic, no parking, and no waiting room.
Encrypted video visits and a secure patient portal for scheduling and messages.
Telehealth with insurance
BrainHelp is in-network with the plans below. Most cover telehealth psychiatric visits the same way as in-person care, but it is a good idea to confirm with your plan.
