Mental Health Care in Ohio

Access gap in Ohio: Ohio has over 4 million residents living in mental health professional shortage areas — more than any neighboring state. The state's rural Appalachian counties in the southeast have some of the highest rates of serious mental illness and least access to care in the entire Midwest.

Hometown NP bridges this gap by providing fully licensed, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medications via telehealth — legally, safely, and conveniently — to residents throughout Ohio.

Whether you are in Columbus, 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.
