Care for adults physically located in Idaho
Embrace Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatric care to adults physically located in Idaho at the time of each visit. That's a legal requirement of state licensure and federal telehealth rules — not a technicality.
- ADHD — diagnosis (DIVA-5, optional CNSVS objective testing) and medication management for adults
- Anxiety — persistent worry, panic, and situational anxiety
- Depression — low mood, reduced motivation, and impaired functioning
- Sleep — insomnia, behavioral and pharmacologic approaches
Scope of practice in Idaho
Idaho grants psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNP-BC) full practice authority. Brandon prescribes independently under his Idaho APRN license and DEA registration.
How telehealth works in Idaho
Idaho permits established-patient telehealth across the state. Initial visits and follow-ups for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and sleep are conducted via secure video.
Controlled substances and ADHD medications
Schedule II–V medications may be prescribed via telehealth to Idaho-located patients when clinically appropriate and consistent with the DEA telemedicine flexibilities currently in effect through Dec 31, 2026, applicable federal requirements, and Idaho rules.
