Online psychiatry for Los Angeles County

Care without the drive.

Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States — and also one of the most underserved for in-network psychiatry. Wait times for an in-network psychiatrist routinely stretch to 6 months or more.

Whether you're in Downtown LA, the Valley, the Westside, the South Bay, or the Antelope Valley, our TelePsychiatry brings board-certified care to you the same week — not next quarter. 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 Los Angeles County.

How TelePsychiatry works

From booking to follow-up.

Five clear steps, from your first call to ongoing care — all by secure video, without leaving Los Angeles County.

01

Book online or call

Book directly through our online portal or call (925) 825-1766. Many patients are seen within 1–2 weeks.

Get started
02

Insurance verification

We verify your insurance benefits before the visit so there are no surprises. We accept most major commercial plans.

Before your visit
03

First visit (60–90 min)

A board-certified psychiatrist (or psychiatric nurse practitioner) takes a thorough history, makes a diagnosis, and discusses treatment options with you.

Your evaluation
04

Prescriptions sent electronically

If we prescribe medication, it goes directly to your pharmacy. We follow DEA and California rules for controlled substances via telehealth.

If needed
05

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 Los Angeles patients specifically.

For most Los Angeles 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.
