Telehealth (Virtual Therapy)
What is telehealth therapy?
We provide therapy services to New York state residents.
Telehealth or virtual therapy is providing therapy through a live video connection over the internet. You receive the same treatment as you would in person. Research has demonstrated that virtual therapy is effective in treating mental health issues. If you’ve ever used Skype or FaceTime, then you’ve used the same type of technology telehealth uses. Our practice uses a specific program to implement virtual therapy because it is HIPAA compliant and secure. We can help you become comfortable with the program.
Why use online therapy?
There are several benefits to using virtual therapy:
1. Privacy - have an appointment from the comfort of your own home
2. Saves time - no need to travel to/from an appointment
3. Convenience - some people prefer to have an appointment during their lunch break or other available time during the day
