Online psychiatry for Fresno County

Care without the drive.

Fresno County and the Central Valley are dramatically underserved by psychiatry. Many cities have no in-network adult psychiatrist accepting new patients.

Telehealth has changed that. We see patients across the Central Valley — Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Tulare, Kings — for evaluation, medication management, and ongoing care, including patients who haven’t been able to access psychiatric care for years.

Universal Medical Group’s TelePsychiatry brings board-certified psychiatric care to your home, your office, or your phone. New evaluations, medication management, MAT, follow-ups — all available without leaving Fresno County.

Follow-up visits (30 min)

Most follow-ups are 30 minutes via the same secure video platform. Frequency depends on the treatment plan — initially every 2–4 weeks, then every 1–3 months once stable.

Ongoing care
Why telehealth?

For Fresno patients specifically.

For most Fresno residents, the nearest in-network psychiatrist is either booked out for months or doesn’t accept your insurance. Telehealth fixes both problems.

Our patients see us from work breaks, from home during their kid’s nap, from their car on a lunch hour. The visit quality is the same as in person for medication management — and patients with anxiety, ADHD, or depression often actually do better with telehealth because the friction of getting to an appointment was itself a barrier.

If you ever decide you want in-person care, all four UMG clinics are open to telehealth patients — Pleasant Hill, Vallejo, Davis, or Fremont.
