BlueSky Telehealth Illinois
Accessible Virtual Mental Health Care Statewide

Yes. Our Illinois-licensed psychiatrists and nurse practitioners can prescribe and manage medication online when clinically appropriate. You’ll meet virtually for an evaluation, and any prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred pharmacy.

Absolutely. Illinois law allows licensed psychiatrists and nurse practitioners to prescribe medications through secure telehealth platforms. All BlueSky providers follow state and federal regulations for safe, compliant prescribing.

Therapy sessions usually last about 45–55 minutes, while psychiatry and medication management appointments typically run 20–30 minutes. Your provider will let you know what to expect before your first session.

All sessions are conducted on a fully encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform. Your information and records are confidential and never shared without your written consent. You can meet from any private space where you feel comfortable.

You must physically be located in Illinois at the time of your appointment, since our providers are licensed to treat within the state. If you travel, you can resume care once you’re back in Illinois.

BlueSky Telehealth is not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You can also contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 for 24/7 support.

Find a quiet, private place with a reliable internet connection. Make sure your device’s camera and microphone work, and have any relevant medical or medication history ready to discuss with your provider.

While telehealth is effective for most conditions, individuals in immediate crisis or needing intensive inpatient care may require in-person services. Our team can help you determine if virtual care is the right fit.
