Teletherapy
Teletherapy, a convenient form of therapy delivered via a live video connection over the Internet, is widely accepted by most insurance plans. Just like an in-office therapy session, your copay, coinsurance, or deductible would apply. To ensure a smooth teletherapy experience, a high-speed internet connection or adequate cell service is essential.
Our office takes your privacy seriously. We are HIPAA compliant, and our therapists conduct teletherapy in a quiet, secluded space to ensure utmost confidentiality. We recommend that you also find a quiet, secluded place before logging into the teletherapy platform using your phone or computer. To facilitate this process, we will ask for your email address. This will allow us to send you a link to the client portal, where you can set up your account, complete any required forms, and receive therapy online.
Please review our instructions for information on accessing the patient portal and teletherapy here.
