What is telehealth?
Telehealth allows clients to complete their sessions with their providers through audio and video over the internet. If you are interested in telehealth, please make sure you call your insurance to confirm this service is covered under your plan and if your provider is eligible to provide the service.
How does telehealth work and what do I need?
You will need a smartphone, computer, or tablet with internet access and camera and audio capabilities.
You will need to sign a telehealth consent form prior to receiving telehealth services. You can complete the form electronically here
Your provider will email you a link for the video session. Click on it when our session is scheduled to start. Your provider may use Doxy.me or Webex to complete the session. Both are free, HIPAA compliant online platforms that are easy to use.

Why should I try telehealth?
We are following CDC recommendations in light of concerns with COVID-19, which means that we want to encourage our clients to practice social distancing and minimize their exposure to the public. It also means no waiting and travel time, so you won’t have to take time off work or other priorities.
How much will it cost?
While most insurance plans are allowing telehealth visits in response to COVID-19 concerns, we still encourage you to call your insurance to confirm this service is covered under your plan and if your provider is eligible to provide the service. The cost for a video session will vary depending on the coverage you have with your insurance provider.
