What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine (telehealth) allows you to get mental health care through online video conferencing. You can connect with Tyisha at Legacy Advanced Nursing Practice using your smartphone, tablet, or computer and get the services you need from home or while traveling.

Most health insurance companies cover telemedicine, paying the same as in-person visits. However, check with your provider to ensure your plan covers your telemedicine services.

Will I get the same high-quality care through telemedicine?

Absolutely. Tyisha offers the same services and delivers the same exceptional level of care as you would get if you scheduled an in-person visit. Studies also show that online mental health services are just as effective as office appointments.

Telemedicine has an advantage because people are more likely to keep their appointments when they don’t have to travel to the practice.

Staying at home is also great for people who are anxious, depressed, or struggling with mental health conditions that make it hard to be out in public.

What psychiatric conditions are treated through telemedicine?

Tyisha can treat the full range of mental health conditions through telemedicine. The only exception is if you’re in a crisis or experience problems like severe mania that may need in-patient care.

The conditions Tyisha treats through telemedicine include (but aren’t limited to):

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mania and bipolar disorders
• Substance use disorder (SUD)
• Addiction management
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Tyisha treats people aged 12 and older who are struggling with emotional and behavioral disorders.

What services will I receive through telemedicine?

Tyisha offers the following services through telemedicine:

Initial psychiatric evaluation and treatment plans

Tyisha takes the time to listen to your concerns and learn about your challenges. Then, she performs a complete psychiatric evaluation, diagnoses the cause of your symptoms, and works with you to create a customized treatment plan.

Medication management

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Tyisha has extensive training and experience prescribing medications for mental health conditions.

Addiction management

Many people are surprised to learn that they can detox and recover without entering an in-patient program. Tyisha provides medications that support a safe detox and long-term recovery.

Psychotherapy

Medication balances brain chemicals, but therapy gives you the skills to thrive in daily life. Tyisha may recommend therapy alone or combined with medication management.
