Telepsych (also known as telehealth, telemental health, and telepsychiatry) is the use of phones, computers, tablets or other devices to connect with your mental health provider remotely. You may also hear this referred to as virtual visits.
Currently Florida, but please reach out! We may still be able to help.
Our office uses a HIPAA compliant video platform that allows them to see you, and you to see them, without having to leave your home. This allows for the most authentic interaction and is the option most similar to in-person meetings. Video sessions allow your provider to take into account your facial expressions and body language during your session, as we normally would during in-person sessions. It also allows you to see your provider, allowing for a more emotionally open conversation. Our platform works on laptops, tablets (with a forward-facing camera) and cellphones.
If video is not an option, we can also conduct sessions over the phone. Studies have shown that phone sessions can be very beneficial, especially if it means having access to your provider in challenging times when coming into an office may not be an option. If you are torn between phone and video, discuss the options with our office. We will be happy to go over the pros and cons and even give you a demonstration of each.
