Treatments

Mental Health Therapy

A form of treatment that helps people understand and overcome a wide variety of emotional challenges. Therapy helps people identify triggers and develop coping skills.  Common treatment topics are dealing with traumatic events, coping with life’s difficulties, medical illnesses, grief and loss.  Therapy may be conducted individually, or with couples, families, and/or support groups.  Therapy may be used alone or in conjunction with psychiatric medication.

Psychiatric Therapy

A form of treatment that is based on the field of medicine that diagnoses, treats, and manages mental disorders. Psychiatry lies at the intersection of neurology and psychology, in that psychiatric practitioners engage their medical training to understand and treat mental illnesses while employing psychological principles and techniques in their practice.  Psychiatric treatment often involves the prescribing of medications such as anti-anxiety, anti-depression, insomnia, stimulant and mood-stabilizing medications when medically necessary.  Medications are only prescribed when the patient and practitioner mutually agree it is a preferred course of action.

Amy-Erin Blakely

Founder / CEO

“In my 30+ years of operating behavioral health programs, it still amazes me that mental health is often an afterthought.  That has to change.  Your mental health is as important as your heartbeat.  Nurture it as if your life depends on it, because it truly does…”

As Seen On:

Our Difference

Life is hard enough; particularly if something traumatic has happened that weighs us down and leaves us without the mental stability to thrive.  We are facing a mental health epidemic like never before and Virtually CALM is grateful to be part of the solution.  

Innovation

Our realization and implementation of new ideas, products, services and processes help us to generate unique systems that create value and improve upon telehealth invention for better usage. We have constructed behavioral health models that disrupt old ideas and processes, making them obsolete.

Culture

At Virtually CALM, we have built an organic culture of caring. Caring for each other, our clients and our communities. We believe that enveloping people with support, compassion and kindness is the pinnacle of success and mental well-being. We rise by helping others.

Technology

Virtually CALM staff have been operating telehealth behavioral treatment for over 11 years and understand the importance of investing in reliable and integrated technology. Our systems allow for seamless, speedy, best-in-class self-service tools that are accessible to clients, investors, and consumers. Our technological processes break down communication barriers and foster collaborative care for all involved.

How It Works

Virtually CALM has a patient portal that allows clients to schedule their own appointments and communicate with their practitioners. When the appointment is scheduled, clients will receive additional information via text or email and then connect to their practitioners by clicking on their unique link from any phone, tablet or smart device. Virtually CALM also has friendly and patient telehealth support administrators who will educate and assist our clients in getting set up for their treatment sessions before they occur.
