Telehealth

Telehealth appointments are easy, convenient, safe, and 100% confidential. Enjoy connecting with a highly-skilled, caring therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. We offer online psychotherapy for all our services. Telehealth appointments are available throughout the state of California (and in select other states) for individual therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy.

Quality of Psychotherapy in Telehealth

Research indicates that efficacy of telehealth is comparable to in-person care. Delivery of care virtually is equivalent to in-office care and providers are able to engage in the same ways they would in-person. In fact, treatment retention rates for virtual care are slightly superior to traditional office-based care.

You may wonder if you can “connect” with your therapist in the same way you would be able to in a physical office. The answer is “absolutely”. Feedback from our clients has been that they feel just as connected as they do in person and that they love the convenience and safety of a telehealth appointment.

Special Considerations for Virtual Sessions

While the same rules of confidentiality for in-person sessions apply to virtual or phone sessions, there are some unique aspects of the meeting to consider.

Make sure you are calling or on the computer in a private space with a door that closes so that your privacy will remain intact. This is important in maintaining your confidentiality. If there are other people present in the room with you during the session, please notify your therapist.

Please be present and ready to begin your session at the designated time. If you lose contact, your therapist will call you back or restart the session.

Do not participate in telehealth while walking or driving. Do your best to limit distractions, such as other people or pets in the home or space.

Do not attend the session under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Do not record your session without the knowledge and express permission of your therapist.
