Online Psychiatry & Telehealth in Colorado Springs
Accessible, Effective Mental Health Care in Colorado Springs
At Summit Psychiatry, we believe high-quality mental health care should be accessible, convenient, and tailored to your life—which is why we offer telemedicine services for many of our counseling and therapy appointments. Telemedicine (also called telehealth or remote therapy) uses secure technology so you can connect with your therapist from the comfort of your home or another private, safe location.
How Online Psychiatry Works
Online psychiatry allows you to meet with your psychiatric provider through secure video appointments from the comfort and privacy of your home or another location that works for you. Also known as telehealth or telemedicine, this approach provides the same personalized psychiatric care as an in-person visit while eliminating the need to travel to the office. It is an excellent option for individuals with busy schedules, transportation challenges, mobility limitations, or those living in rural communities throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding area.
What You'll Need for Your Virtual Appointment
To participate in your virtual appointment, you'll need:
- A private, quiet space where you feel comfortable talking
- A device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer)
- A reliable internet connection
Once your appointment is scheduled, you'll receive instructions to join a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Just like an in-person visit, you'll meet face-to-face with your provider, discuss your concerns, and work together to create or adjust your treatment plan—all from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Online psychiatry provides a convenient, flexible, and effective way to receive expert mental health care without the barriers of travel or rigid scheduling. By connecting with your provider through a secure telehealth platform, you can attend appointments from the comfort and privacy of your home while receiving the same personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care as an in-person visit. Contact Summit Psychiatry today to learn if virtual care is right for you.
Safety, Privacy, and Professional Standards
At Summit Psychiatry, your privacy and security are always a priority. Our online psychiatry appointments are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform that protects your personal health information. Virtual appointments meet the same professional standards as in-person psychiatric visits, allowing you to receive high-quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Before your first virtual appointment, we'll explain how the telehealth platform works and review the consent process so you know what to expect. Our goal is to make every online visit simple, secure, and comfortable while providing the same personalized care you would receive in our office.
Who Can Benefit from Online Psychiatry?
Online psychiatry is an effective option for many individuals seeking mental health care, including those experiencing:
- Anxiety and depression
- ADHD
- Bipolar disorder
- Trauma and PTSD

Research has shown that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person psychiatric care for many mental health conditions, especially when there is a strong relationship between the patient and provider.
