What is Teletherapy?

​

Teletherapy is providing mental health therapy through a live video connection, over the internet. You receive the same treatment as you would in person, it’s just done through a computer! If you’ve ever used Skype on your computer or FaceTime on your iPhone, you’ve used the same type of technology* teletherapy uses.

​

Teletherapy is a great option... 

 

• for busy professionals tuning in from the office

• for busy parents tuning in from home

• for people traveling who want to stay on track with therapy goals

• for persons lacking transportation

• for persons experiencing medical or psychological conditions that make in-person counseling difficult

• during inclement weather

• during a pandemic or natural disaster

• to meet the needs of persons with disabilities
