Care in Zionsville
Real psychiatry, without the local waitlist
The village feel is the point of Zionsville: the brick street, the shops, the small school district families move here for. The same intimacy makes mental health care feel exposed; a recognized car outside a local practice is information, and Boone County's thin psychiatric supply means long waits anyway.
shrinkMD offers the alternative the village can't: complete privacy with faster access. You meet a board certified clinician licensed in Indiana by secure video from your home near Main Street or your office in Indianapolis, usually within days of booking.
We treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD evaluation needs, and the full adult outpatient range with measurement based care, one consistent clinician, published flat fees, and no insurance billing, which means no record of care in any external database.
What we treat
Conditions we treat

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is telepsychiatry available in Zionsville?
Yes. shrinkMD provides licensed online psychiatry for adults across Indiana, including Zionsville, by secure video, with evaluations usually available as soon as availability allows.
Do you prescribe controlled medication in Zionsville?
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 Zionsville?
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 Zionsville 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 Zionsville?
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.
In a town this small, is private care even possible?
By video, completely. No one sees a car, a waiting room, or an insurance statement. The structure of cash pay telepsychiatry is the discretion, not a promise layered on top of it.
Do you treat empty nest depression? It sounds trivial but it isn't.
It is not trivial, and yes. Life transition depression is real depression, and the village quiet after children leave can be deafening. An evaluation sorts adjustment from major depression, and both respond to proper treatment.
