Talk to a Therapist Online — From Anywhere in Chico or Butte County
What if getting mental health care in Chico didn’t require a long wait, a long drive, or rearranging your entire week? With HomePsych — the online therapy and psychiatric care division of North American Mental Health Services — it doesn’t.
HomePsych connects Chico residents and people throughout Butte County with licensed California therapists and certified psychiatric providers via secure video, phone, or messaging. Same expert care. Same NAMHS standards. Just from wherever you are.
Who HomePsych Is For in Chico
HomePsych was built for the way people in Chico and Butte County actually live. It’s designed for:
- Chico State students managing anxiety, depression, or the stress of college life
- Residents of Paradise, Oroville, and Gridley who face long drives to reach a clinic
- Butte County families still carrying the weight of wildfire trauma and displacement
- Busy professionals and parents who can’t step away during clinic hours
- Anyone who needs mental health support but has struggled to find consistent, accessible care locally
What HomePsych Provides to Chico Residents
HomePsych is a full mental health platform — not just a video call. Chico-area patients get:
- Individual therapy with licensed MFTs and therapists
- Psychiatric evaluation and ongoing psychiatric care
- Medication management — prescription sent directly to your pharmacy
- Secure, HIPAA-compliant video appointments
- Flexible scheduling including evening and weekend availability
- Access to the NAMHS patient portal for refills and records
How It Works

Choose your preferred format — video, phone, or a combination. Use your smartphone, tablet, or computer. No special software required.

Your HomePsych provider will work with you to develop a personalized care plan — including therapy, psychiatric care, or both.
Why Online Therapy Makes Sense for Butte County
Butte County has long faced a shortage of accessible mental health providers. Between limited local options, transportation barriers in rural areas like Biggs, Durham, and Magalia, and the lasting mental health toll of the 2018 Camp Fire, many residents have gone without care — not because they didn’t want it, but because the system made it too hard to reach.
HomePsych removes those barriers. Whether you’re a student at Chico State, a family in Paradise still rebuilding, or a working adult in Oroville who can’t take time off for an appointment, we’re here and we’re ready.
Therapy & Psychiatry Together — In One Place
One of HomePsych’s biggest advantages is care coordination. If you need both a therapist and a psychiatric provider, our team works together within the same system. No more faxing records between offices or repeating your story twice.
Is HomePsych Right for Me?
HomePsych works best for individuals with a stable internet connection and a private space for their appointments. It’s available to all California residents — including everyone in Chico and across Butte County — and accepts Medi-Cal and most major insurance plans. If you’re unsure whether online therapy is right for you, our team can walk you through your options.
