Psychiatric services

At Virtual Med, our care is grounded in a deep-seated passion for functional medicine and trauma-informed care. We recognize the complex interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors in mental health and provide personalized telehealth services that support mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. 

 Our holistic approach integrates psychiatric medications, natural supplements, lifestyle interventions, and talk therapy. We specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, Substance Use, Insomnia, OCD, Stress, Grief, and ADHD, tailoring care to each individual’s needs. 

 We are especially dedicated to trauma-informed care, understanding how past experiences shape present struggles. By creating a safe, supportive environment and offering evidence-based therapies, we empower patients to move toward healing, resilience, and long-term wellness. 

Telehealth is effective for many mental health needs. However, some situations require in-person care. We do not treat mental health emergencies, unstable psychotic disorders, severe developmental disorders, complex or unstable medical conditions, or acute substance withdrawal needing medical monitoring. Telehealth appropriateness is determined by our providers, and when possible we will provide referrals to local clinics when in-person care is more suitable. 

We provide outpatient telehealth services only and are not equipped for emergency or crisis care. If you are in immediate distress, please contact local emergency services 911 or crisis hotline 988. 

At Virtual Med, our priority is to enhance patient well-being while minimizing risks. We focus on non-addictive medications, lifestyle changes, and coping skills as first-line treatments. Controlled substances may be considered only when clinically appropriate, for short-term use, and always with strict monitoring and regular virtual check-ins.

• No early refills will be provided.
• Prescriptions require compliance with scheduled appointments.
• Aggressive or inappropriate behavior, harassment of staff, receiving controlled substances from multiple providers, or non-compliance with dosing will result in a one-time rapid taper and discharge from the clinic.

Safe Deprescribing 

We are committed to assisting patients who wish to safely discontinue controlled substances. Our clinicians provide structured tapering plans, close monitoring, and ongoing support to minimize withdrawal risks and promote long-term wellness.

Benzodiazepines

• May be prescribed short-term only for conditions such as panic.
• Carry risks of dependency and adverse effects with long-term or high-dose use.
• Thorough assessments are required before prescribing.
• We follow FDA and evidence-based guidelines: no long-term or high-dose benzodiazepine prescribing.

Stimulants

• ADHD treatment begins with addressing underlying mood concerns, nutritional support, life-style factors, and coping skills
• Prescribed only after a comprehensive evaluation.
• Immediate-release (IR) stimulants are not prescribed.
• If stimulants are deemed appropriate, extended-release formulations are preferred for safety and consistency.
