Telehealth is convenient counseling forum well suited to many lifestyles. For many clients, one of the best reasons for choosing Telehealth is that it simplifies sessions, eliminating driving time and waiting room delays. As long as you have good internet connection, and a quiet, comfortable, private place to talk, you are ready to go. Many clients report that they feel less stress when the session is from a place of their own choosing instead of an office. Additionally, when both parents want to be involved, we can include both parents from the same screen even if they are at different locations.

Details of Telehealth Connection
After your appointment is requested, you are sent a confirmation by email. Before the session, you are sent a Telehealth link for the session by text or email. You can view the session from a computer or from your phone. I use Simple Practice Telehealth software, which meets the requirements for HIPPA privacy. You'll need a download speed of 10 Mbps (megabits per second) or higher for the best connection. (Mbps upload measures how quickly information can be sent from your computer to another.) In situations where there are technology issues, we can make exceptions and use phone or FaceTime, but with the disclaimer that those are not HIPPA secure programs.
I am a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider and follow the guidelines required for that credential. This includes client signed informed consent including details about emergency procedures, confidentiality and more.
