Adolescents 15 and older
Telehealth Psychiatric Care for Teens in Connecticut
Psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy by secure video, for adolescents 15 and older.
Care for teens, from home
The teen years bring a lot at once: school, friendships, family, and figuring out who you are. When worry, a low mood, or trouble focusing starts to get in the way, it helps to talk with someone who looks at the whole picture.
Jessica Logel is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience working with adolescents and adults. She sees teens 15 and older by secure video, so there is no drive and no waiting room.
In her words: "I strive to create a space where clients can talk openly without fear of judgment." For a teen, that means being heard and having a real say in the plan.
What your teen can expect
- A first visit that covers history, current concerns, symptoms, school and home life, and goals.
- Time to talk openly, in plain language, without being talked down to.
- A clear explanation of what may be going on and what the options are.
- Medication is optional. If it is part of the plan, you talk through the benefits and risks together first.
- Practical coping strategies to use at school and at home.
- Follow-up visits to check progress, with a referral to a therapist if more support is needed.
For parents and guardians
Booking for a teen
Booking for a teen aged 15 to 17? Call (914) 916-6376 and we will walk you through how a parent or guardian takes part in booking and consent.
Text reminders
Our text-message program is for people 18 and older, so a parent or guardian opts in for patients under 18.
Insurance or self-pay
