What is required of you?
Expectations are the same as if you were in our office - single focused. We are too often plugged in, yet not tuned in. This is precious time you have set aside for self care, not for tending to the needs of others or task lists. This means laundry, cooking, deliveries, cell phones, and the like can wait. If you wouldn't do it in the office, don't do it online. A quiet, confidential area void of distractions is a must. Only those involved in the counseling session may be present.
is it secure?
FaceTime and Skype are not, which is why we use a HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform. It will work on any computer or mobile device with internet access and a camera.
Do you accept insurance?
Most insurances do cover online counseling. Due to licensing requirements, each party may be required to be in the same State the treating counselor is licensed.
