Telehealth Therapy

---

Sometimes we seem to let the hustle and bustle of life get in the way of doing things we need to do to take care of ourselves. Self-care is important and participating in therapy is an important piece of self-care for many of us. Online counseling allows you to participate in therapy within your own lifestyle. If you have even the most basic setup, like a smart phone and a private spot, you can likely take advantage of online counseling.

Online counseling (also called online therapy, telehealth, telemedicine, etc.) is a fairly recent innovation that has become quite popular. You can see your therapist for face-to-face services through a secure video link. Most people have access to a smart phone, tablet, or computer with a camera. This ease of access to make video calls has revolutionized the health industry, allowing you to interact with your provider in a super convenient way.

There are plenty of benefits to online therapy, including:

• work schedule
• lack of transportation 
• limited open appointments with your therapist

You can fit therapy into your life! All you need is privacy plus a device connected to the internet. Imagine yourself fitting therapy in while…

• On your lunch break
• In the morning before your day gets started
• At the end of your work day
• Waiting for a delivery

The technology is easy-to-use. Our telehealth platform is integrated into our practice management software, so you can easily:

• Schedule an online appointment through our client portal
• Get reminders of your session through text, phone, or email
• Click a link to start a session
• Use your phone, tablet, or computer

We have invested in the training and equipment to make sure that your counseling experience online is private and secure.

• Your video link is encrypted and complies with HIPAA laws
• Your therapist has been trained in how to provide therapy remotely

Convenience and technology aside, we know that online counseling can definitely take some getting used to. It took us a while to get used to it, too!  But, we’re experienced in providing therapy by video session and the important pieces of in person therapy stay in place, including:

• face-to-face session
• real-time interaction
• therapeutic interventions used
• established therapeutic relationship
• fewer distractions
