Care in Fishers
Real psychiatry, without the local waitlist
Fishers grew from a train stop to ninety thousand people inside a generation, and to its credit it talks about mental health more openly than almost any suburb in America. Talk still meets the same wall everywhere else does: too few psychiatrists, waits that stretch months, and families left managing in the meantime.
shrinkMD turns the city's openness into appointments. You meet a board certified clinician licensed in Indiana by secure video from your home near the Nickel Plate District, your office in one of the tech parks, or anywhere private, usually within days of booking.
We treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, bipolar disorder, ADHD evaluation needs, and the full adult outpatient range with measurement based care, one consistent clinician, and prescriptions to your local pharmacy the same day they are written.
What we treat
Conditions we treat

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is telepsychiatry available in Fishers?
Yes. shrinkMD provides licensed online psychiatry for adults across Indiana, including Fishers, by secure video, with evaluations usually available as soon as availability allows.
Do you prescribe controlled medication in Fishers?
No. shrinkMD doesn't prescribe controlled substances anywhere, including stimulants and benzodiazepines. We're upfront about this and effective with the evidence based alternatives.
How fast can I be seen in Fishers?
Usually as clinician availability allows, compared to the months long waits common locally. Early treatment is easier treatment.
Will I see the same clinician each time?
Yes. Continuity is a core standard: one clinician who knows your history, your scores, and your goals, visit after visit.
What number do I call in Fishers for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. shrinkMD is an outpatient practice, not an emergency service, and we want you safe first.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in Fishers?
We don't bill insurance. You pay a transparent flat fee per visit, HSA and FSA funds work, and we provide superbills you may submit for possible out of network reimbursement.
Where do appointments take place?
Wherever you've privacy and a connection: home, an office, or a parked car. There's no clinic to drive to and no waiting room.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward.
Our employer brought mental health speakers to work, but where's the actual care?
Right here, within days. Awareness campaigns matter, and they work best when an appointment is easy to get. The intake takes minutes, the evaluation is a full hour by video, and follow up actually happens.
Do you do ADHD evaluations for adults?
Yes, thorough ones. Be aware we do not prescribe stimulants or any controlled substances; we are upfront about that and effective with evidence based non-stimulant options, and the diagnostic clarity alone is often worth the evaluation.
