Most insurers cover tele-health services for mental health care. Please call your insurance carrier to verify coverage. Our platform is HIPPA compliant, and protects your privacy and confidentiality. Technology used for teletherapy is at no cost to you. Clients can participate in sessions from home or any location determined appropriate by the client and their clinician. You will need to use your computer or smart phone to communicate during online counseling. Therefore a good internet connection or cell reception is recommended.
Research shows that virtual sessions are an effective form of psychotherapy. You will need to find a space if at all possible that is quiet and where you feel comfortable to share. If you have a headset that will also help with reducing noise and distraction. Many people prefer video as we can see each other’s faces and expressions.
