About Blue Lotus Telepsychiatry

Blue Lotus Telepsychiatry started in 2021 because we believe mental health care should feel personal, easy to reach, and made for you. We began as a small telepsychiatry practice and have grown into a team of board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners working together in Ohio and New York. Our team combines clinical experience with taking the time to listen, creating a safe, welcoming space to talk about what’s going on.

Who We Are

Our Mission

We’re a group of mental health nurse practitioners, licensed in Ohio and New York, who care about helping people. Each of us has our own way of working, but we all want the same thing: to listen, treat you with respect, and share what we know about medications, supplements, and coping skills, so we can meet you where you are.

Our Vision

At Blue Lotus Telepsychiatry, our goal is to work with you in a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable and respected. We want you to feel heard and know that you matter as we work together on your mental health.

Treatment Built Around You

Our Approach

Medication can help bring things into balance, but it’s usually just one part of the picture. At Blue Lotus, we look at more than just symptoms; we want to understand what’s really going on. Our providers mix medication management with support, practical advice, and helpful testing to build a care plan that fits your life.

Targeted Diagnostics & GeneSight® Testing

If trying different medications has been frustrating, we can use a simple cheek swab test to see how your body processes certain psychiatric medications. This helps us make better choices together.
