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 Frisco residents. Visits are private and secure, and Dr. Forbes brings the same integrative, whole-person approach to every telehealth appointment.
Telepsychiatry in Frisco: the local picture
Frisco has been among the fastest-growing cities in the country for most of two decades, and its population skews sharply toward families with children who relocated for work and schools. Two things follow clinically. First, the adolescent caseload is large and growing faster than local capacity. Second, a substantial share of adults here are recent transplants without an established local physician, no continuity of care, and no one who knew them before the move — which makes it harder to recognize when a change in mood is a departure from baseline rather than an adjustment to a new city.
Getting care in Frisco
Rapid growth means primary care and pediatrics in Frisco are absorbing demand faster than psychiatric specialty care has expanded to meet it, so the referral itself often becomes the bottleneck. Newly arrived families also have to rebuild a care network from scratch, and psychiatry is usually the last piece assembled. Telehealth removes the geographic search entirely — the question becomes whether the clinician is right for you, not whether they are close enough to drive to twice a month.
What this means for Frisco patients
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.
Privacy is a recurring concern in tightly networked communities, where being seen entering a local psychiatric office carries a social cost. A video visit from a closed door at home resolves a worry that no amount of discretion at a physical office fully addresses.
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.
