Mental Health Care Questions and Answers for South Carolina

No. We see patients throughout South Carolina via secure telehealth video. Most visits never require a trip to our Charleston office, though some services, such as physicals and injections, require an office visit.

Yes.

We are often able to schedule new patients within a week of requesting an appointment — significantly faster than the average wait at in-person psychiatric practices in the Midlands, which frequently runs six to eight weeks.

A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a private space. No special software required. You receive a secure video link before your appointment.

We treat anxiety disorders, depression, adult ADHD, PTSD, panic disorder, mood disorders, and related conditions. We also provide medication-assisted treatment for 7-OH and kratom dependence. See our 7-OH and kratom treatment page for more information.

Yes, for non-controlled medications. South Carolina law permits telehealth prescribing of non-controlled psychiatric medications following a proper clinical evaluation.

Non-stimulant ADHD medications can be prescribed via telehealth. When a stimulant is appropriate after a full evaluation, including ADHD testing if you have not had a formal evaluation before, we prescribe long-acting stimulants only; we do not prescribe immediate-release stimulants. Stimulants are federally controlled substances subject to specific DEA protocols.

Yes, for most conditions. Research consistently shows telehealth is clinically equivalent to in-person care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and medication management. The American Psychiatric Association endorses telehealth as a standard of care.
