02
Meet a licensed clinician
A psychiatric clinician licensed in your state evaluates you and builds a treatment plan with you, often the same day.
03
Stay on track
Regular follow-ups keep you moving. Your clinician checks how you're doing and adjusts your plan when needed.
What we treat
Care for what's weighing on you
Anxiety
Constant worry, racing thoughts, panic, or tension you can't shake.
Depression
Low mood, low energy, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy.
Sleep
Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up rested, especially when stress is involved.
Mood & stress
Burnout, irritability, and mood changes that make everyday life harder.
Alcohol use
Want to drink less? We run a separate online program for cutting back or quitting.

You don't need a diagnosis to start. Figuring that out is what your evaluation is for.

SameDayPsych isn't for emergencies or crisis care (call or text 988, or call 911). If your clinician thinks you need in-person care, they'll tell you.
Our approach
Medication, when it helps
Medication can be a useful part of care. It's never automatic, and it's always your decision with your clinician.
Evidence first
Your clinician recommends options with solid research behind them, matched to your symptoms and health history.
Watched closely
Follow-ups track how you feel and any side effects, and your plan changes if it needs to.
Not forever by default
If you want to change or stop a medication, your clinician helps you do it safely.
Psychiatric care or therapy?

Which states do you serve?+
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
