Breaking down barriers to mental health care access, Sensible Care's expansion empowers communities in Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada to receive vital teletherapy services
SANTA ANA, Calif., July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sensible Care, an end-to-end online behavioral health provider, today announced the expansion of its teletherapy services to residents of Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada. This significant expansion is part of Sensible Care's ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality teletherapy to individuals and communities in need, including active duty and retired service members and their families covered by TRICARE.
Florida and North Carolina are states with high demand for mental health services. Recent data reveals that a significant portion of TRICARE beneficiaries in both states face challenges in accessing adequate mental health care. According to JAMA, only 13 percent of the TRICARE beneficiary population lives in a region with an adequate number of military and civilian psychiatrists. The same study indicates that the shortage primarily exists in the South, Midwest and interior West regions of the United States. Sensible Care aims to bridge this gap and ensure that all individuals receive the care they deserve.
Nevada, with its unique demographics and growing population, is another area where Sensible Care is eager to extend its services. By offering accessible teletherapy solutions, Sensible Care aims to provide much-needed support to individuals and families throughout the state, regardless of their location or circumstances.
As CEO and Founder of Sensible Care, Paul Kim understands firsthand the challenges faced by service members and their families when it comes to mental health care. Paul stated, "We founded Sensible Care to address the specific needs of our veterans and military communities. It is our firm belief that high-quality, affordable, and flexible care should be easily accessible to all, particularly those who have served our country. The expansion to Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada enables us to reach and assist a significant population in need."
Sensible Care significantly increases access to mental health care by delivering patient care via video and maximizing convenience with user-friendly online scheduling. Since its establishment in 2017, Sensible Care has successfully served patients throughout California, Virginia and Texas. Now, residents in Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada, including TRICARE members and their families, can effortlessly book same-week online psychiatric and therapy appointments with licensed clinicians, often with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs.
Paul Kim, Sensible Care's CEO, served as an infantry soldier in the Army following the events of 9/11. After grappling with PTSD and encountering challenges in accessing quality mental health care, Paul dedicated the next decade to studying the behavioral health industry before co-founding Sensible Care. Presently, TRICARE members constitute a significant portion of the company's patient base.
