Psychiatric Care Over Video

Delivered Right to Your Home

What Is Telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry means psychiatric care delivered entirely through secure video. You and your provider meet over our HIPAA-compliant video platform — no office visit, no travel time, no waiting room. Just you, your provider, and a genuine conversation about what you’re experiencing and what you need.
At Brady Psychiatry, telepsychiatry isn’t second-best. It’s how we’ve designed our entire practice. Secure video lets us focus on what matters: listening to you, understanding your situation, and developing a treatment plan that works.

What We Can Assess, Diagnose, and Treat

Using telepsychiatry, we can help with a wide range of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, sleep disorders, and more. Our approach combines:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand the root of what you’re experiencing.
  • Medication management when appropriate, carefully prescribed and regularly monitored.
  • Psychotherapy and supportive strategies integrated into your sessions.

Telepsychiatry lets us do all of this with the same depth and care as an in-person visit, from the comfort of your own home or other favorite private space.

Your Initial Visit (Up to 40 Minutes Long)

Your first appointment is thorough and conversational to get to know you and your goals.

We’ll discuss your chief complaint — what brought you in today. Then we’ll explore the history of what you’re experiencing: when did this start? What makes it better or worse? How is it affecting your life?

We’ll ask about your medical and psychiatric history, any medications you’re taking, family history, and substance use. We’ll also ask pointed questions to help us develop an accurate diagnosis.

Most importantly, we’ll listen. Your experience matters, your concerns are valid, and your goals shape your treatment. Psychotherapy and supportive guidance are included, based on what you need in that first visit.

Your Follow-Up Visits (Up to 20 Minutes Long)

Follow-ups build on your initial evaluation. We’ll assess how treatment is working: Are you feeling better? Do medications need adjustment? Are the strategies we discussed helping?

Typically, follow-ups happen within a month of your initial visit, though that varies based on your needs. Some people need closer monitoring; others do well with longer intervals. We adjust to what works for you.

Just like your first visit, follow-ups include medication adjustments if warranted, assessment of your progress, and supportive therapy depending on your goals and response.

We use SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant video platform trusted by healthcare providers nationwide. Here’s what you need to know:

We’ll walk you through the process before your first appointment, so you feel confident and ready.
