Telehealth Services
Offering this option for clients of all ages has made mental health services more accessible and ensured continuity of care for those already working with us. For many, the flexibility of choosing between therapy from home or in the office has been a huge plus. While children often thrive with in-person sessions (which we do offer), we’ve also successfully adapted play therapy techniques to Teletherapy, making remote care a valuable option for families.
How Teletherapy Works?
Teletherapy sessions are scheduled at a convenient time for both the therapist and client, who then connect via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform like Zoom or Simple Practice. During the session, the therapist and client can see and hear each other in real-time through webcams and headsets. This virtual setting allows them to interact just as they would in a face-to-face session, with the therapist using the same techniques and activities they would in-person.
Teletherapy offers several benefits compared to traditional therapy, making it a great option if:
- You have health concerns, especially during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.
- You dislike dealing with traffic.
- Your job involves frequent travel, making it hard to commit to in-office appointments.
- Your busy schedule with work, family, and social commitments makes it easier to avoid the commute to a therapist’s office.
- You already work from home and find it more convenient to do therapy from the same environment.
- You have health issues that make it difficult or impossible to travel to a therapy session.
- You care for a loved one who cannot be left alone while you attend therapy in person.
Teletherapy provides a flexible, effective way to receive the mental health care you need from the comfort and safety of your own space.
