What is telehealth?

Telehealth refers to mental health care using digital connections. While Kema Health Services provides exemplary mental health care in the Frederick, Maryland office, some patients need to or just prefer to stay home while they get the treatment they need. 

To meet your needs, the practice provides outstanding virtual mental health care using electronic devices and the internet. Patients throughout Maryland can opt for telehealth if desired. 

How does telehealth mental health care work?

Telehealth involves connecting your computer, tablet, or smartphone to a reliable internet connection. You’ll visit a secure and private virtual waiting room a few minutes before your appointment. There, you’ll meet your mental health care provider via live video chat.

The visit isn’t different from being in the Kema Health Services office. You’ll discuss your mental health challenges, ask questions, get guidance, and talk about your treatment goals. 

If you need or already take medication for depression, anxiety, or another mental health disorder, your telehealth appointment can include medication management. With medication management, your specialist prescribes and oversees the use of medication to relieve symptoms.

Telehealth psychotherapy and medication management provide much of the same experience as office-based care. You can alternate the two types of visits if you wish. 

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth at Kema Health Services offers some great benefits, including:
