SERVICES ARE PROVIDED VIA A SECURE TELEHEALTH PLATFORM
WHAT IS TELEHEALTH?
Telehealth, also referred to as telemedicine, telepsychology, is the use of technology to communicate and provide (mental) health assessments, diagnoses, interventions and information across a distance, as opposed to face to face. Each state has particular requirements that must be adhered to in order for a provider to utilize telehealth for treatment purposes.
VIDEO SESSIONS
All therapy sessions and consultations will take place via Simple Practice, a secure TeleHealth Platform. TeleHealth offers flexibility both in time and location.
In-person versus TeleHealth sessions is an important consideration when finding a new therapist. Often, patients feel more relaxed in the comforts of an environment of their choosing and many patients are able to meet at a time that historically would have not been feasible (e.g. during the work day) due to commute times to and from the therapists office.
