Virtual Assistant for Mental Health Practices
A dedicated mental health virtual assistant handles intake, insurance verification, scheduling, and crisis triage routing — clinically trained and HIPAA-compliant from $8/hour.
A mental health virtual assistant is a clinically-trained remote professional who handles the administrative workload specific to psychiatry, therapy, and behavioral health practices. From patient intake and insurance verification to appointment scheduling and crisis-call triage routing, a mental health VA keeps your practice running while your providers focus on patient care. VA.care mental health VAs are pre-trained on SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Epic, work from secure call center facilities with signed BAAs, and cost a fraction of in-house staffing.

- •EHR DocumentationMental health charts fall behind because general VAs can't navigate behavioral health EHRs or understand therapy documentation.
