our SERVICES
We begin with a three hour enhanced diagnostic interview with a focus on screening for nearly all possible psychiatric diagnoses. This step is performed BEFORE a treatment plan is drafted or medications are written in order to formulate an efficient plan of care that is specifically targeted to you. This includes medication management focusing judicious medication use, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Any diagnosis requiring an inpatient level of treatment or an intensive outpatient clinic will not be able to be treated via teleconferencing and will require a referral to higher level of care within your community. Some services that cannot be performed via teleconferencing include advanced treatment of eating disorders such as Anorexia, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD. In select instances we can coordinate our psychiatric/medication services with a specialized outpatient provider in your area. For example, if Prolonged Exposure (PE) is indicated, this may be an option. Although we can treat nearly all indications, if we cannot treat you through teleconferencing we will make every effort to diagnose you accurately and develop a treatment plan to forward to a provider in your area.
no stress TECHNOLOGY
The technology involved is straightforward and we will walk you through the process to make sure everything works before you officially sign up or pay for anything.
Our teleconferencing platform is HIPAA compliant and secure. Most home setups work out-of-the-box but occasionally you will have to buy an inexpensive webcam for ~$20 in order to improve the quality of your experience.
Additionally, an at-home blood pressure cuff may be needed for ~$40 or in some instances we can simply interface with your PCP for this information.
meet Dr. Christopher Struble,
Psychiatrist & President of Renew TeleHealth
Call 650. 450.9520 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Struble.
Qualifications: I received my MD in 2011 and completed residency in 2015. I have specialized training in comprehensive diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, judicious medication utilization, DBT and psychodynamic therapy.
Who He Is: I started this practice to improve access to treatment that exceeds the current standard of care in the field. While it would have been easier and more lucrative to take insurance and bill for brief visits, that would not be in accordance with what is best for my patients. I founded Renew Telehealth in 2015 in order to start my own practice and allow in anyone in the state in the California to be seen by providers I know and trust.
Why He Does It? In the end, I always want what's best for my patients. Sometimes that means medication can help, other times not. It's far too easy to get in a “bill and mill” pattern in psychiatry where medications are overprescribed and I started this practice specifically to work around that status quo. I’m motivated most by seeing a proper diagnosis and treatment plan that results in my patients finding their own true happiness without wasting years of their life on ineffective treatment.
rates & INSURANCE
In order to ensure that we have ample time to provide the quality of service we strive for, we do not accept insurance directly. However, most of our clients with PPO insurance plans get some or most of their appointments reimbursed, when they submit a paid receipt to their insurance company. We understand that insurance is confusing and we’ll gladly call your PPO and figure out what your estimated out-of-pocket expense will be (if any) before you sign on with us.

(Includes approximately 1.5 hour questionnaire for you to fill out on your own, 45 minutes to review and 2 hours of direct contact to solidify the diagnostic picture.) - Medication Management &/or Therapy with Dr. Struble $400/hr
