Receive Mental Health Care Without Leaving Home

Telehealth services for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors in Riverside and the Inland Empire

You do not need to drive across Riverside, find parking, or sit in a waiting room to receive mental health care. Telehealth allows you to meet with a provider from your own home using a secure video platform. If you have mobility challenges, social anxiety, a packed schedule, or young children at home, virtual care removes the logistical barriers that make it harder to stay consistent with treatment.

All services are delivered one hundred percent virtually through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform that keeps your information confidential and secure. Mending Health Care provides telehealth for individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. This format supports consistent follow-ups, medication management, therapy, and wellness education without requiring you to leave your home.

How Virtual Care Removes Barriers to Treatment

You schedule an appointment online and receive a link to join your session at the scheduled time. In Riverside, this means you can attend therapy or psychiatric appointments during your lunch break, after your kids go to bed, or on a weekend without coordinating transportation. The platform works on a phone, tablet, or computer, and you do not need to download special software in most cases.

After your first telehealth session, you will notice that the time you used to spend commuting or waiting is now available for other things. You will also notice that being in a familiar environment makes it easier to speak openly about what you are going through. Telehealth eliminates commuting, parking, and waiting room stress while reinforcing safety, comfort, and flexibility in mental health treatment.

This service is ideal for individuals with anxiety, mobility challenges, busy schedules, or rural access limitations. It supports treatment adherence because you are more likely to keep appointments when they do not require extensive planning. Telehealth does not replace in-person care when that is clinically necessary, but it does provide a reliable way to maintain continuity when virtual delivery is appropriate.

Before scheduling a telehealth appointment, many clients want to know how the technology works, what to expect during the session, and whether virtual care is as effective as meeting in person.

Most People Have Similar Questions Before Starting

You need a device with a camera and microphone, internet access, and a private space where you can talk without being overheard. Most sessions work on smartphones, tablets, or computers without requiring downloads.
What do I need to participate in a telehealth session?
All sessions use a HIPAA-compliant platform that encrypts your video, audio, and data. Your information is protected by the same standards required for in-person medical visits.
How does telehealth protect my privacy and personal information?
You choose telehealth when convenience, privacy, or access matter more than being in the same room as your provider. It works well for ongoing care, follow-ups, and situations where traveling to Riverside is difficult or unnecessary.
Why would I choose telehealth instead of meeting in person?
Your provider will attempt to reconnect using the same link or will call you by phone to continue the session. If the connection cannot be restored, the session is rescheduled without penalty.
What happens if my internet connection drops during a session?
Availability varies based on provider schedules, but many clients in Riverside are able to book within one to two weeks. You can request specific times during the intake process.
How soon can I schedule my first telehealth appointment?
