Mental Health Care Without the Commute
Between busy schedules, transportation challenges, and long Wisconsin winters, getting to an in-person mental health appointment isn’t always easy. That’s where telehealth comes in.
At Bay Psychiatry of Wisconsin, telehealth allows us to deliver high-quality psychiatric care and therapy to patients anywhere in the state — right from the comfort of home.
What Is Telehealth for Mental Health?
Telehealth uses secure video platforms to connect patients with licensed providers for therapy, medication management, and evaluations.
During a telehealth visit, you’ll:
Meet with your provider through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video call
Discuss symptoms, history, and treatment goals
Receive prescriptions or therapy recommendations when appropriate
Have follow-up visits without the travel time

🌎 No matter if you’re in Green Bay, Door County, Madison, or a small northern Wisconsin town — you can access care.
2. Convenience
🕒 Save time by skipping commutes, traffic, and waiting rooms.
3. Comfort
🏡 Many patients feel more relaxed opening up from their own space.
4. Continuity of Care
📱 Whether you’re traveling, in college, or balancing a busy schedule, telehealth ensures consistent care without interruptions.
