Thank you. I am looking for virtual appointments only though. But maybe Cooley offers that??

I think most places do nowadays. They may however require you to show up every third or fourth visit. This is usually because it is very difficult to assess how depressed someone might be if you never see them in person. People sometimes show up at appointments disheveled which could make the psychiatrist aware how badly they are doing and can assess for suicidality and such. You can often cover things like this up if all your appointments are via telehealth.
