Is Telepsychiatry Different From Traditional Psychiatry?
With telepsychiatry, your appointment is held via a secure video chat between you and your provider without the hassle of traveling to and from your appointment.

Rest assured you will receive the same level of care from our telepsychiatry appointments as you would in the office with none of the hassles of fitting a trip to the office into your schedule.
What Services Does Lumos Offer?
Lumos offers a wide variety of common services with telepsychiatry. Whether you are looking for a mental health therapist, depression therapist, or family therapist, our team has you covered. Telepsychiatry can be a great option for individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and more. Nearly any appointment that can take place in a psychiatrist’s office can happen through telepsychiatry without the added stress of an in-person meeting.
How Does A Telepsychiatry Appointment Work?
Telepsychiatry appointments may seem complicated at first, but at Lumos, we make it simple to book and access your session with a top psychiatrist entirely online. Once you schedule your appointment, a link to our secure video meeting software will be delivered to your email address. When it’s time for your appointment, check-in is as simple as clicking a link. Your video meeting will automatically open. Within minutes, your doctor will appear on screen, ready to help you.
Does Telepsychiatry Work as Well as Traditional Psychiatry?
Showing up to therapy can be the hardest part for many people as life gets in the way. At Lumos, we help by removing the barriers that make it hard for you to show up. Research shows telepsychiatry is just as effective as traditional psychotherapy. In today’s busy world, finding the time to meet with a traditional therapist can be difficult. This is especially true for people with social anxiety, autism, or busy schedules. Visiting a provider via video rather than in-person can be especially beneficial, as it relieves the social pressure and stress of making it to the appointment. Lumos patients can trust the leading psychiatrists in our San Jose and Los Gatos clinics to help them make as much progress as they would in the office from anywhere in California.
