Scottsdale, AZ – August 31, 2025
Urgent Telepsychiatry Industry Concerns
FasPsych, a premier provider of telepsychiatry staffing solutions, today expressed deep concern over reported challenges in the telehealth behavioral health industry that could compromise patient care. Unlike some peers, such as Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth, FasPsych distinguishes itself through its extensive experience and unwavering commitment to patient-centered goals, ensuring high-quality, compassionate care. The company calls on other industry players to re-evaluate their priorities to address these critical issues and align with the mission of improving mental health access.
Risks to Patient Care
Recent industry feedback highlights issues that risk undermining patient experiences. Inadequate onboarding and training can leave clinicians unprepared, leading to inconsistent care that erodes trust. Overburdened providers, facing unrealistic quotas, may deliver rushed sessions, reducing empathy and worsening outcomes for patients with conditions like depression or anxiety. Frequent staff turnover disrupts therapeutic relationships, forcing patients to restart with new providers, which is particularly harmful for vulnerable groups. A shift toward profit-driven priorities in some organizations may also result in ethical oversights or culturally insensitive care, alienating diverse populations.
FasPsych’s Distinct Approach
FasPsych stands apart from these industry complaints through its proven track record and mission-driven approach. With nearly two decades of telepsychiatry expertise, FasPsych prioritizes robust clinician vetting, comprehensive onboarding, and manageable workloads to prevent burnout and ensure consistent, empathetic care. The company’s flexible staffing model, without upfront costs, integrates seamlessly with partners’ workflows, fostering real relationships that enhance patient satisfaction. Over 90% of clients and patients report positive experiences in FasPsych surveys, reflecting adherence to American Psychiatric Association guidelines and a focus on quality over quantity.
A Call for Industry Improvement
“FasPsych is committed to setting the standard for telepsychiatry by aligning our operations with our core goal of expanding access to compassionate, equitable care,” said a FasPsych spokesperson. “We are troubled by reports of industry challenges, and we urge companies like Array Behavioral Care and Iris Telehealth to re-evaluate their goals to prioritize clinician support and patient well-being. By investing in training, sustainable practices, and diverse leadership, the industry can overcome these hurdles and better serve those in need.”
Commitment to Excellence
FasPsych’s proactive measures include a growing network of licensed, insured psychiatric professionals who deliver timely virtual care across adult, child, and emergency services, addressing psychiatrist shortages in underserved areas. The company’s HIPAA-compliant solutions ensure secure, accessible consultations, particularly for rural communities and integrated behavioral health settings.

A Vision for the Future
As mental health demands surge, FasPsych calls for industry-wide reflection and action. The company encourages other telehealth providers to reassess their goals, ensuring robust training, competitive compensation, and patient-focused leadership to mitigate risks to care quality. By fostering these improvements, the sector can strengthen its role in public health, delivering equitable, high-quality services to all.
