If you’re traveling, your psychiatrist might not be able to see you virtually, depending on where you are. This is because medical licenses are state-specific, meaning your psychiatrist must be licensed in the state you’re physically in during the visit. If you’re traveling to a state where your psychiatrist is licensed, there won’t be any issues. Otherwise, you may need to plan your visits accordingly or discuss options with your psychiatrist before traveling. - [Appointments](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/appointments?hsLang=en) - [Telehealth](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/telehealth?hsLang=en) - [TMS](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/tms?hsLang=en) - [Spravato](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/spravato?hsLang=en) - [Billing](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/billing?hsLang=en) - [Insurance](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/insurance?hsLang=en) - [Treatment](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/treatment?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshoot](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/troubleshoot?hsLang=en) - [Medication](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/support/home/medication?hsLang=en) [![OB-White-Text-Full](https://knowledgebase.onebehavioralhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OB-White-Text-Full.png?width=207&height=60&name=OB-White-Text-Full.png "OB-White-Text-Full")](https://onebehavioralhealth.com/) 106 Whispering Pines Suite 103 Friendswood, TX 77546 [mailto:contact@texasbehavioral.com](mailto:contact@texasbehavioral.com) Copyright © 2025, One Behavioral Health
