About Gaba Telepsychiatry
Our Mission

All affiliated practitioners are US licensed, trained, and insured psychiatrists, who are screened, verified, and are known to follow US psychiatry guidelines and standards of care.
Gaba Tele-psychiatry’s goal is to provide the highest quality care to patients, who otherwise would not be able to access care from the provider of their choice either because of geographic location or scheduling difficulty.
How Is GABA Telepsychiatry Different?
At GABA Telepsychiatry, mental health care feels personal, never hurried or forced. Every treatment plan is tailored to you, your symptoms, your goals, and your life. Our board-certified psychiatrists take the time to hear your concerns and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.
We provide psychiatric care through secure, HIPAA-compliant video appointments. You receive the same level of attention and quality as you would during an in-person visit. Rather than rushing through brief chats or relying on text messages, we focus on meaningful conversations and thorough evaluations.
We offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, therapy recommendations, and screenings for medical conditions that could affect your mental health. Same-day and weekend appointments are available, making it easier to receive expert care when you need it.
Our mission is simple: to provide compassionate, trustworthy care that helps you feel better, all in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
