Telehealth Psychiatry Appointments

Whether you’re at home, at work, or simply prefer not to travel, telehealth makes it easier to get the care you need. At Bright Horizons Psychiatry, we offer secure video appointments for medication management, evaluations, and follow-ups—so your mental health stays a priority, even when life gets busy.

Telehealth

Care That Comes to You

Bright Horizons Psychiatry is a patient-centered practice located in North Bethesda, MD. We specialize in treating adults (18+) with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Led by Dr. Amir Etesam, our team offers personalized psychiatric care using a mix of medication management and advanced treatments like TMS and Spravato®—now available via telehealth for many appointments.

Our mission is simple: to help you feel better, with care that’s grounded in compassion, science, and real connection.

Mental Health Support
Wherever You Are

We believe getting help shouldn’t be hard. Telehealth lets you meet with your provider using your smartphone, tablet, or computer—from anywhere in Maryland.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Easy, private video appointments

  • Personalized care, just like in the office

  • No extra software or apps required

  • Secure and HIPAA-compliant

  • Ideal for medication check-ins and follow-ups

Whether you’re just getting started or continuing care, telehealth gives you more flexibility—without compromising quality.

What Is Telehealth Psychiatry?

Telehealth psychiatry is mental health care delivered remotely. Instead of visiting our office, you’ll speak to your provider over video in real time. You can still:

  • Start a new treatment plan

  • Adjust medications

  • Ask questions and share concerns

  • Receive support for ongoing conditions

It’s the same expert care—just more convenient and on your schedule.

Who is it for?
Telehealth is great for adults managing mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, and more—especially if travel, time, or comfort make in-person visits difficult.
