How Clear Path Works

Psychiatric care at Clear Path is delivered through secure video appointments, which means you can be seen by a California-licensed psychiatrist, psychiatric physician assistant or nurse practitioner from anywhere in the state, without travel, time off work, or a wait for a local appointment.

What to expect

1. Book your appointment. Choose a time that works for you and complete your intake beforehand, so your first appointment is spent on clinical care rather than paperwork.
2. Your first visit. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation covering your history, current symptoms, previous responses to medication, and any physical health conditions affecting treatment choices.
3. Your treatment plan. Following the evaluation your provider builds a plan around your diagnosis and goals, combining medication management with a referral for therapy where that is appropriate.
4. Ongoing follow-up. Regular scheduled visits track your progress, with adjustments made as needed. Every visit is a live video appointment with a Clear Path provider.

Appointments take place on a HIPAA-compliant video platform you can join from any device.

Why care by video works

Care delivered by video removes the practical obstacles that stop people starting treatment or staying in it: travel, rigid scheduling, and time away from work. Those obstacles matter clinically, because psychiatric treatment depends on consistency. Starting sooner and attending reliably is what produces results.

For people with demanding schedules, limited transport, or a preference for the privacy of their own home, this makes it realistic to stay with treatment long enough for it to work.

Eligibility

• You need to be 18 or over.
• You need to be physically located in California at the time of your appointment, because our providers are licensed in California.
• You need a device with a camera and microphone, and somewhere private enough for a clinical conversation.
