In today’s fast-moving world, access to quality mental health and addiction treatment shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. That’s why True North Clinic proudly offers telepsychiatry—a powerful form of virtual care that’s making treatment more accessible, convenient, and effective than ever.


Whether you're managing a busy schedule, living in a rural area, or facing transportation challenges, our virtual care services bring compassionate, expert support directly to you—wherever you are.


What Is Virtual Care and Telepsychiatry?

Virtual care refers to health services provided remotely, using secure video platforms. At True North, this includes:

  • Psychiatric evaluations and medication management

  • Group therapy

  • Continued care planning

  • Mental health and addiction recovery support


Telepsychiatry is a key part of this model, allowing our licensed psychiatric providers to assess, diagnose, and treat clients through virtual appointments.


Why Virtual Care Works

Virtual care isn’t just a convenient option—it’s a proven, effective form of treatment. Numerous studies show that telehealth can be just as impactful as in-person care for mental health and substance use treatment, especially when combined with ongoing support and structure.


Benefits of virtual care include:

  • Increased access for individuals in remote or underserved areas

  • Reduced barriers like lack of transportation, childcare needs, or work conflicts

  • Flexible scheduling that fits real life

  • More privacy and comfort, with sessions held in familiar environments

  • Ongoing connection during transitions, such as after inpatient or residential care


At True North, we ensure our virtual care services maintain the same quality and confidentiality as our in-person offerings—because your healing deserves nothing less.


Telehealth for Rural Communities and Underserved Areas

For many, access to treatment is limited by geography. In rural areas, local mental health services may be hours away—or simply unavailable. Virtual care breaks down those barriers.


Through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, clients can connect with our expert clinicians from anywhere in the state. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space. We handle the rest.


Our telepsychiatry services are ideal for:

  • Clients with limited or no transportation

  • Working adults or parents with demanding schedules

  • Individuals who feel more comfortable receiving care at home

  • People transitioning out of residential treatment who need continued support


Is Virtual Care Right for You?

Virtual care works for many people, but it isn’t one-size-fits-all. At True North Clinic, we work with you to determine the best level of care—virtual, in-person, or a hybrid of both. Our team ensures you have the tools and support needed to make the most of your online sessions.

You’ll still receive personalized treatment plans, dedicated providers, and consistent follow-up—just through a screen instead of a clinic door.


True North’s Commitment to Accessible, Compassionate Virtual Care

Our virtual services reflect the same core values we bring to every level of care: compassion, evidence-based treatment, and personalized support. Whether you’re starting your recovery journey or maintaining progress, we’re here to walk with you—virtually and powerfully.


Final Thoughts

Telehealth is no longer the future—it’s the present of effective, accessible mental health and recovery care. With virtual care, help is never out of reach.


At True North Clinic, we’re proud to offer telepsychiatry services that meet you where you are, so you can move forward with strength, hope, and expert support.
