Our Treatment Approach

Visits are private and secure, and Dr. Forbes brings the same integrative, whole-person approach to every telehealth appointment.
Telepsychiatry in Carrollton: the local picture
Carrollton spans three counties on the northwest side of the metroplex and is notably diverse, with a large and long-settled Korean-American community among others. Its residents are split between corporate and professional work in the surrounding suburbs and a strong local base of small business ownership. Small business owners are a clinically distinctive group: they have almost no schedule flexibility, no employer-provided leave, and a strong tendency to defer their own health indefinitely because stepping away has an immediate and visible cost to the business.
Getting care in Carrollton
Language and cultural fit matter more in Carrollton than raw provider counts, and a nearby clinician who is not a good fit is not usable care. Widening the search geographically is often what makes a good match possible — but that only works if the appointments do not require a long drive twice a month. Telehealth separates the choice of clinician from the distance to their office, which for a small business owner is frequently the difference between beginning treatment and continuing to postpone it.
What this means for Carrollton patients
For someone already spending two hours a day in a car, adding a cross-town appointment is what turns a treatment plan into a series of cancellations. A visit taken from home or from a parked car costs the length of the appointment and nothing else.
Technical professionals are generally comfortable with video consultation and value the time it returns to them. It also allows a longer appointment than a clinic visit sandwiched into a workday, which suits patients who want to actually discuss the reasoning behind a treatment plan.
Telehealth widens the pool of clinicians a patient can realistically see regularly, which matters most when language concordance is a clinical requirement rather than a preference. The nearest provider and the right provider are frequently not the same person.
