Metro Healthy Communities offers talk therapy and psychiatric help through TeleHealth

May 7, 2020

METRO’s TeleHealth services branch beyond just talk therapy.

In times of isolation, dealing with clinical depression can pose a serious obstacle. Depression is different for everyone, too. Finding the right treatment is a personal journey. Some conditions can be treated with talk therapy alone or in addition to medications. Medications are prescribed and closely monitored for effectiveness and symptom relief. Metro Healthy Communities Behavioral Health department provides this service via a Psychiatric APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) for evaluation, medication management, and monthly follow-ups.

Prescriptions are available by no-contact delivery to your door or regular mail.

Making the decision to focus on your mental wellness is a tough one, and the process isn’t always easy. I spoke with Laura Rosenbluth, MS, LMFT, Director of Behavioral Health at METRO to learn some tips to combat isolation.
