THERAPY THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE.

WHAT IS TELEHEALTH?

Telehealth counseling offers an appointment with a licensed therapist virtually on a secure video platform or in some cases via phone. There is no commute, no waiting room to sit in, and no need to hurry to get there on time. Therapy is coming to you, wherever you feel comfortable.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH?

Telehealth makes quality counseling more accessible than ever. By removing barriers like travel and geography, it’s easier for individuals, couples, and families to get the care they need. Other benefits include:

• Convenience: Access therapy from home, your office, or even while traveling.
• Privacy: Sessions are private and secure, helping reduce the stigma some people feel about counseling.
• Flexibility: More appointment times mean therapy can fit into even the busiest schedule.
• Accessibility: Ideal for those without reliable transportation, or anyone with mobility challenges.

HOW DOES TELEHEALTH COUNSELING WORK?

Telehealth is nearly identical to in-person counseling, with the only difference being that sessions are via secure video conference. You'll meet with your therapist using your smartphone, laptop, or tablet, at the appointed time.

As in person, you'll share your concerns, thoughts, and objectives and your therapist will offer guidance using evidence-based approaches to your unique situation.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A TELEHEALTH SESSION?

Preparing for your online therapy session is easy and quick. Here are some tips:

• Pick a quiet place with privacy and no distractions.
• Test your device's internet connection, microphone, and camera on your device or app.
• Make sure you sit in a well-lit area so you can be seen clearly.
• Feel free to use headphones if you would prefer more privacy.
• Be on time so you can start on time.

IS TELEHEALTH PRIVATE AND SECURE?

Yes. We take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. All of our telehealth visits are conducted using HIPAA-compliant platforms that have gone through rigorous privacy and security vetting. Clients are encouraged to join from a private space in order to add to confidentiality on their end.

IS ONLINE THERAPY AS EFFECTIVE AS TRADITIONAL THERAPY?

Yes, research confirms that online therapy is just as effective as traditional, in-office sessions. By offering a secure, private, and comfortable environment, online therapy allows you to focus fully on your progress without the stress of commuting. It provides the same evidence-based support and clinical expertise as traditional care, right from the comfort of your home.
