ADHD Telepsychiatry
Telepsychiatry for NJ Children and Teens
What Is Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is a form of telehealth treatment that allows children and teens to receive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing care through secure video appointments. Instead of traveling to our office, families can connect with our licensed psychiatrists from the comfort of home using a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
At the ADHD, Mood & Behavior Center, our ADHD telepsychiatry program helps children and adolescents who are struggling with attention, hyperactivity, mood changes, anxiety, and other behavioral or emotional challenges.
How Telepsychiatry Works
ADHD telepsychiatry treatment follows the same structure as an in-person visit. During an appointment, the psychiatrist will:
- Meet with your child to discuss symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors.
- Gather input from parents to better understand challenges at home or school.
- Provide a diagnosis when appropriate.
- Recommend a treatment plan that may include therapy, coping strategies, and, if needed, medication.
Appointments are private, HIPAA-compliant, and designed to make children feel safe and supported.
Medication Management and Parental Consent
Medication can play an important role in treating ADHD, anxiety, and other conditions. With telepsychiatry, our psychiatrists can manage prescriptions through secure online sessions.
In New Jersey, medications for minors under 18 can only be prescribed with written consent from a parent or legal guardian. This rule ensures that parents remain fully involved in all treatment decisions and helps keep care safe and effective.
Why Families Choose ADHD Telepsychiatry
Parents often find ADHD telepsychiatry to be just as effective as in-person care, with the added benefit of flexibility and convenience. Children and teens are able to continue receiving the care they need without disruption, while parents remain active partners in the process.
Benefits of telepsychiatry treatment include:
- Consistency – No missed appointments due to scheduling conflicts, travel, or weather.
- Comfort – Children may feel more at ease opening up at home.
- Accessibility – High-quality psychiatric care available across New Jersey.
- Collaboration – Parents can participate easily in sessions when needed.
