What is Telehealth?

An online, video-based option that allows you and/or your child and your therapist to meet without having to be in the same physical location.

Telehealth allows us to use interactive audio and video technology available on most computers, tablets, or phones to have real-time therapy sessions with you and/or your child—including evaluation, treatment, and support. Our platform is HIPAA compliant to ensure your privacy and confidentiality.

Improved Access

For over 40 years, telehealth has been used to bring healthcare services to people who need them, mostly because the providers they needed were in distant locations.

During the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, we want to make it as easy as possible to continue services.

The Same Standard of Care, Just a Call Away

Studies have consistently shown that the quality of healthcare services delivered via telemedicine is as effective as those given in traditional in-person sessions.

Your satisfaction with this experience is important to us; we’ll be asking for your feedback.

Children’s Mental Health
