ABOUT US
Our Commitment to Your Care
At River City Telepsych, our mission is to deliver personalized, evidence-based mental health care that leads to meaningful, lasting outcomes. We believe effective treatment starts with understanding each individual’s unique needs, and we partner with our patients to find the best path forward—together.
Through a secure and convenient telehealth platform, we provide a safe, comfortable space for you to connect with your provider from wherever you feel most at ease. Our goal is to make high-quality psychiatric care accessible, collaborative, and tailored to help you thrive.
Who We Are
River City Telepsych is a Richmond, Virginia-based psychiatric practice serving adults throughout the state with flexible, virtual care. Led by Lauren Ehredt, PMHNP-BC, the practice provides treatment for a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Unlike large, standardized clinics, River City Telepsych limits the number of patients seen to allow for timely, one-on-one attention. Patients can reach out by call or text, and Lauren responds personally within 24 hours—making it easier to access support when it matters most.
About Psychiatric Telehealth
Telehealth psychiatry is an effective and convenient way to access mental health care from a space that is convenient for you. It removes common barriers such as travel and scheduling conflicts, making it easier for individuals to maintain regular appointments and receive consistent support. For those in rural areas or with limited access to in-person services, telehealth can be a particularly valuable option.
All virtual sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms that protect your personal health information. This ensures that your conversations remain private and confidential, just as they would in a traditional office setting.
"What I love most is that I can talk to her about things I don’t feel comfortable sharing with anyone else. She listens; really listens and responds with care, empathy, and expertise. It’s clear that she’s experienced in working with people who struggle with mental health and she is truly amazing at it. I actually look forward to each appointment with her. Having someone like Lauren to talk to has made a significant difference in my life."
