Telehealth Options
In-Person and Virtual Counseling
We offer both in-person and/or virtual counseling sessions. Both are HIPAA-compliant. Virtual (on-line) therapy consists of meeting with your therapist via a video conferencing platform on your computer, tablet or phone. Virtual counseling (teletherapy) is a relatively new way to receive care. If you’re thinking about it, here are some benefits to consider:
- Convenience in meeting with a therapist from the comfort of your own home
- No time spent traveling to appointments
- Access to care providers with specialized expertise regardless of their geographic location
Many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy. Always check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage for mental health services.
