Modern psychiatry that meets you where you are.
You’ve Tried It All And You Still Don’t Feel Like Yourself.
You’re exhausted from chasing providers all over town, just to be disappointed by their care. You want care that gets to the heart of the problem, not just the symptoms.
What if your location wasn’t tying you down? Working with a telehealth psychiatrist gives you access to flexible, thoughtful, science-based care from the comfort of your own space. We don’t treat symptoms. We dig deep into the root cause and give you a holistic treatment plan to help you understand why you feel out of sync and what to do about it.
What Is Telehealth Psychiatry?
Telehealth psychiatry allows you to receive expert mental health care through secure, online video sessions. You’ll meet face-to-face with our board-certified psychiatrist who listens, assesses, and personalizes care just as they would in person.
This isn’t a quick prescription service. It’s a deeper form of psychiatry that uses lab testing, genetic insights, and trauma-informed care to restore balance to your body. From medication management to functional testing and therapy integration, our telehealth psychiatry gives you access to personalized care.

Who Is Telehealth Psychiatry For?
Telehealth psychiatry is ideal for:
High-performing professionals who want convenient, high-quality care.

How Telehealth Psychiatry Works
Step 1: Comprehensive Virtual Evaluation
We begin with a full psychiatric and functional assessment through secure video. You’ll share your health history, symptoms, stress patterns, and other concerns so we can identify the biological and emotional roots of what you’re experiencing.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your evaluation, we’ll design a plan that includes some or all of the following, depending on your needs: lab testing, therapy recommendations, targeted medication, and supplements. Every plan and recommendation is tailored to your unique biology and goals.
Step 3: Ongoing Virtual Support
With your unique plan in place, we will meet regularly online to review your progress and adjust treatment as needed. We stay connected so that your plan evolves with you.
Meet Dr. Lauren Williams, Your Telehealth Psychiatrist
Board-Certified Psychiatrist | Functional Medicine Trained | Trauma-Informed
I’ve seen how disconnected people feel in traditional psychiatry. Appointments are rushed, symptoms are managed, and the deeper root problem gets lost. My work combines evidence-based medicine with functional and integrative approaches to help you understand what’s truly driving how you feel and how to fix it.
My practice is small by design, so that every session allows me to listen, analyze, and guide you with precision and care. Through telehealth psychiatry, I’m able to offer the same level of intentional, personalized care wherever you’re located.
