Getting psychiatric care shouldn’t require taking half a day off work or sitting in a waiting room. Stephanie Kutella, APRN, PMHNP-BC, at Tohi Psychiatry, offers telehealth appointments to patients throughout Illinois, so you can meet with her from your home, office, or another private location. Evaluations, medication follow-ups, and therapy sessions can all be provided conveniently over video. Call the practice today or schedule a telehealth appointment online to get started.
Telehealth Q & A
What is telehealth psychiatry?
Telehealth lets you meet with Stephanie over a secure video connection instead of coming into the office. You talk, she asks questions, and the two of you build a plan together, exactly as you would in person. Psychiatric care translates well to video because the work happens through conversation.
Stephanie treats telehealth appointments with the same clinical standards as office visits. She reviews your history, tracks your symptoms over time, prescribes and adjusts medication, and sends prescriptions to the pharmacy you choose.
What can a telehealth appointment cover?
Most of what Stephanie does at Tohi Psychiatry works over video, including:
- An initial psychiatric evaluation
- Medication management and dose adjustments
- Follow-up visits for anxiety, depression, or mood disorders
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment and monitoring
- Therapy sessions
- Check-ins during a stressful stretch or a symptom flare
- Updates shared with your primary care provider or therapist
Certain medications carry prescribing rules that may call for an in-person visit or extra monitoring, and Stephanie tells you upfront if that applies to your treatment.
What should I do before my telehealth appointment starts?
Pick a spot where you can speak openly without anyone overhearing, and where the connection holds steady. Charge your phone, tablet, or computer ahead of time and check that the camera and microphone work. Keep your current medication list within reach, along with any questions you want to cover and notes on how you have felt since your last visit.
Log on a few minutes early so a technical hiccup does not eat into your session.
Who is a good fit for telehealth psychiatry?
Telehealth suits people whose schedules, transportation, or symptoms make regular office visits hard to keep. Parents with young children, patients who work long shifts, and anyone whose anxiety makes leaving the house difficult often find it easier to stay consistent with care over video.
Consistency matters in psychiatry, and appointments you can actually attend produce better results than ones you cancel.
Care that fits your life is easier to stick with. Call Tohi Psychiatry today or schedule a telehealth appointment online.
