Counseling Practice Augmentation
While counseling has been an evidence-based practice for decades, there is a percentage of patients who function best when they receive a combination of counseling and psychotropic medication.
When a therapist decides that medication may be needed to manage symptoms, they have two options:
- Refer the patient to a primary care physician
- Refer the patient to a psychiatric professional
Practices that cannot provide both counseling and medication management risk losing patients who need comprehensive care. Offering integrated services helps retain patients and ensures they receive the full spectrum of behavioral health care without the hassle of coordinating multiple providers.
How Telepsychiatry Supports Counselors & Therapists
Telepsychiatry enhances counseling and therapy practices by providing patients with timely access to psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and specialty care. By integrating telepsychiatrists into the care team, therapists can focus on providing evidence-based counseling while knowing their patients’ psychiatric needs are being monitored and addressed. This collaboration strengthens treatment outcomes, improves patient retention, and ensures a more comprehensive approach to mental health and wellness.
Services Provided by Telepsychiatrists That Support Therapy Practices:
- Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis of psychiatric disorders
- Medication management and prescription oversight
- Coordination with therapists and the broader treatment team
- Crisis assessment and emergency services support
- Follow-up care and progress monitoring
- Guidance on care plans and referrals to additional support services
