Picture this: It’s 3 p.m. on a weekday. You have a psychiatry appointment, but you’re stuck on H-1 traffic near Pearl City. Your stress level rises—right before an appointment meant to help with stress.
For many Oahu residents, getting to mental health care is harder than the appointment itself. Telehealth psychiatry changes that.
Whether you live in Ewa Beach, Kailua, Kapolei, or the North Shore, you can now access high-quality psychiatric care without leaving home.
Traffic on Oahu is more than inconvenient—it’s a barrier to care. A short drive can easily turn into a 90-minute commute, making it difficult to attend regular appointments.
Telehealth removes those obstacles by allowing you to meet with your provider from anywhere. No parking, no traffic, no waiting rooms.
Mental health providers are concentrated in urban Honolulu, leaving many communities with limited access. Residents of Waianae, the North Shore, Windward Oahu, and Central Oahu often face long travel times just to reach care.
Telehealth removes geography from the equation. As long as you have a private space and an internet connection, you can receive care from anywhere on the island.
All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet access. Appointments take place through a secure video platform.
During your visit, your provider will discuss symptoms, review your history, and work with you to develop a treatment plan. Prescriptions can be sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
The experience is similar to an in-person visit—without the commute.
Telehealth is especially helpful for:
For many, telehealth improves consistency and reduces missed appointments.
Some situations may still benefit from in-person visits, such as:
Your provider will help determine the best approach for your care.
