Behavioral health
Mental health support starts with the right kind of care.
The appropriate visit type depends on the concern, location, and a clinician's assessment. Some situations call for a live conversation or in-person care.

The right format matters.
A questionnaire or messages alone may not provide enough information for every mental-health concern. A clinician may ask to speak with you on video, recommend a local resource, or suggest in-person evaluation.
Clinical assessment
A qualified clinician considers your history and current concern before recommending a visit type. Browsing this page does not begin an assessment.
Text or live video?
When secure care is available, a clinician decides if messaging provides enough context or whether live video, testing, or in-person care is needed.
When video may be neededTreatment decisions
Diagnosis, treatment, and any prescription depend on clinical judgment, applicable law, and an enabled service.
