Yes, as long as your provider holds a license in the state where you are physically located during the visit. I am licensed in Maryland, Washington DC, Nevada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and I see patients in those areas entirely by secure video.
Virtual psychiatric care is not a lesser version of in-person care. It is the same thorough evaluation, the same careful diagnosis, and the same ongoing relationship, delivered in a way that fits real life. For a new mother, a busy professional, or anyone who finds leaving the house for an appointment genuinely hard, being seen from your own living room can be the difference between getting care and going without.
Why the state you are in matters
Licensing for telehealth follows the patient, not the provider. What matters is the state where you physically are at the time of your appointment, not where you grew up or where your insurance is based. Because I hold licenses in four jurisdictions, I can care for you if you are located in Maryland, Washington DC, Nevada, or the U.S. Virgin Islands when we meet.
What a virtual visit with me looks like
- You reserve your appointment online and complete a paperless intake beforehand.
- We meet on a secure, private video platform that protects your health information.
- I take a full history, ask the questions that matter, and we build a plan together.
- If medication is part of your plan, I can prescribe and send it to your pharmacy.
- We follow up regularly, so your care keeps pace with how you are actually doing.
Is virtual care right for everyone
It is right for most people seeking outpatient psychiatric care, and it is wonderfully convenient. Virtual care is not the right setting for a psychiatric emergency. If you are ever in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to your nearest emergency room. For everything else, ongoing support, evaluation, and medication management, a video visit works beautifully.
If you are located in Maryland, Washington DC, Nevada, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, I would be honored to care for you.
