Telehealth Services: Clinical Care That Meets You Where You Are

Telehealth — also called telemental health or virtual care — delivers the same psychiatric and therapeutic services you would receive in our Stockton office, but through secure, HIPAA-compliant video or audio platforms. In California, telehealth is not a lesser form of care. State law recognizes it as a fully regulated delivery model subject to the same professional, ethical, and documentation standards as an in-person visit. Your provider-patient relationship carries the exact same legal weight and protections.

At Ineza Outpatient Services, telehealth isn't a fallback. It's a deliberate, evidence-based extension of our treatment model. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as face-to-face sessions for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Remote interventions that supplement in-person care have been associated with a 39% lower odds of relapse for substance use disorders. And for medication management, telehealth improves continuity and adherence — particularly for high-risk medications. Led by Caroline Ndifon, PMHNP-BC, our team delivers the full spectrum of outpatient psychiatric care through a screen.

What Telehealth Includes

Our telehealth program delivers the full range of outpatient psychiatric care: individual therapy, medication management, psychiatric evaluations, group therapy, and care coordination. Sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video or audio platforms — with the same clinicians you would see in person.

Who Telehealth Is For

Telehealth is ideal for adults across California who face barriers to in-person care — busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, transportation challenges, or limited access to specialized providers. It is also effective for medication management, ongoing therapy, and step-down care after a higher level of treatment.

How to Get Started

Call us at (209) 644-9070 or submit our secure intake form. We'll verify your insurance benefits, match you with the right clinician, and schedule your first telehealth session. Most new clients are seen within the same week.

Navigating Telehealth Services: A Collaborative Path to Consistent Care

Telehealth is not a workaround. It is a deliberate, structured treatment modality designed to remove the barriers that too often interrupt care. Our clinical team works with you to establish a private, distraction-free environment, confirm your technology setup, and create a backup communication plan — so that a dropped connection never becomes a dropped appointment. California law requires your informed consent before any telehealth service begins, and we walk you through that process transparently.

What to Expect in a Telehealth Session

Your first telehealth visit mirrors an in-person intake: a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, discussion of your goals, and collaborative treatment planning. Follow-up sessions may include therapy, medication management, or both. All sessions are conducted through HIPAA-compliant platforms — never consumer video apps. You'll receive a secure link before each appointment, and our team is available by phone if you encounter any technical difficulty.

We are here to help

Telehealth — also called telemental health or virtual care — delivers psychiatric and therapeutic services through secure, HIPAA-compliant video or audio platforms. You meet with a licensed clinician in real time, from any private location in California. California law recognizes telehealth as a fully regulated delivery model with the same professional and ethical standards as an in-person visit. Your provider-patient relationship carries the same legal weight and protections.
Yes. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy works just as well as face-to-face sessions for most people with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Online therapy programs often have higher completion rates and attendance than in-person care. When remote interventions supplement in-person treatment for substance use, studies show a 39% lower odds of relapse.
Yes. California's telehealth parity law requires most insurance plans to cover telehealth services at the same rate as in-person visits. Audio-only visits must be reimbursed at parity with video and in-person visits — meaning a phone-only mental health session must be covered the same way as a video psychiatry appointment. Plans cannot charge higher cost-sharing for telehealth than for equivalent in-person services. We accept Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, Carelon, and Optum/UnitedHealthcare, and offer self-pay and sliding scale options.
You need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, plus a stable internet connection. Our team will send you a secure link before your appointment — no special software required. If you have concerns about technology or connectivity, let us know. We'll help you test your setup and create a backup plan, such as a phone-only session, so a technical issue never interrupts your care.
Absolutely. All telehealth sessions are conducted through HIPAA-compliant platforms — never consumer video applications. California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) extends protection to your health information in digital formats. Before your first session, we obtain your informed consent, explaining what telehealth involves and what limitations may apply. You also have the right to choose in-person care at any time.
Yes. Telehealth is well-suited for psychiatric medication management. Our PMHNP-BC and clinical team can evaluate, prescribe, and adjust medications through secure video sessions. Research shows that telehealth care improves medication continuity and adherence, particularly for high-risk medications. If you require closer monitoring, our team will collaborate with you on a hybrid approach that may include periodic in-person visits.
Your safety is our highest priority. Before your first session, we establish a backup communication plan and confirm your emergency contacts. If you experience a crisis during a session, your clinician will guide you through the appropriate next steps. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. For the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call or text 988.
