Telehealth Visits in MD & VA

Shared Smile Behavioral Health provides psychiatric care through secure, convenient telehealth appointments for adults located in Virginia and Maryland.

Telehealth allows you to receive thoughtful, personalized care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.


What is Telehealth?

Telehealth visits are conducted through a secure video platform, allowing you to meet with your provider remotely using a phone, tablet, or computer.

These visits are similar to in-person appointments and include evaluation, discussion, and treatment planning.
