Our Treatment Approach
Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up — and it dramatically improves access for Denton residents. Visits are private and secure, and Dr. Forbes brings the same integrative, whole-person approach to every telehealth appointment.
Telepsychiatry in Denton: the local picture
Denton holds two universities — the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University — inside a city of moderate size, which gives it an unusually large young-adult population relative to everything else about it. That population drives a specific and heavy clinical demand: first-episode anxiety and depression, first-time ADHD evaluation in students who managed until the structure of high school disappeared, and the sleep disruption that university life reliably produces. Around the universities is a city whose other residents commute south into the metroplex, and the two groups compete for the same limited local specialty care.
Getting care in Denton
Campus counseling services are built for short-term support and typically cannot provide ongoing psychiatric medication management, so students needing a prescriber are referred into a local market that is small for the demand placed on it. Students also frequently lack a car, and the year splits their address between Denton and a family home elsewhere. Telepsychiatry handles both: care continues across a summer or a semester break without transferring to a new provider, which is when treatment most often lapses.
What this means for Denton patients
Students split the year between a campus address and a family home, and care built around a physical clinic breaks at every one of those transitions. A video-based relationship holds through semesters and summers, which is what makes ongoing treatment possible rather than a series of restarts.
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.
For parents, the logistics of an appointment — childcare, school pickup, time off — are frequently the reason care does not happen. A visit that fits into the twenty minutes after school drop-off removes nearly all of that overhead.
