Mental Health Care in Alaska

Access gap in Alaska: Alaska has fewer than 5 psychiatrists per 100,000 residents — the lowest ratio of any US state — making telehealth the primary access point for psychiatric care for most Alaskans.

Whether you are in Anchorage, a rural community, or anywhere in between, you can access board-certified psychiatric care from the comfort of home — via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. Check the scheduling portal for current appointment availability; most major insurance plans are accepted.
