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 Irving residents. Visits are private and secure, and Dr. Forbes brings the same integrative, whole-person approach to every telehealth appointment.
Telepsychiatry in Irving: the local picture
Irving holds the Las Colinas corporate corridor — a dense cluster of headquarters and back-office operations — immediately beside neighborhoods that are among the most internationally diverse in North Texas. It also sits against DFW International Airport, and airport-adjacent employment means a substantial share of the working population is on rotating or overnight schedules. The result is a city where two very different patient groups live within a few miles of each other: salaried professionals whose stress presents as insomnia and irritability, and shift workers whose circadian disruption is doing real damage to mood and is routinely misread as primary depression.
Getting care in Irving
Irving's practical barrier is scheduling rather than distance. Corporate employees can rarely take a mid-morning appointment without explaining it to someone, and airport-adjacent workers are asleep during the hours a clinic is open. Both groups tend to postpone psychiatric care until something forces the issue. A telehealth visit that can be taken from a car in a parking structure between obligations is not an inferior version of the appointment — for these schedules, it is frequently the only version that ever happens.
What this means for Irving patients
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.
The single largest barrier for shift workers is that clinics are open exactly when they are at work. Video visits can be scheduled against a rotation rather than requiring the rotation to bend, which for many workers is the difference between having a psychiatrist and intending to find one.
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.
