What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the use of telecommunications technology, such as computers and mobile devices, that allows our clinicians to provide professional counseling and consulting services remotely. The goal of telehealth is to make these services more readily available for those who are unable to attend an in-therapy session. This services provides a convenient and effective way to stay engaged in treatment, leading to symptom relief and successful outcomes.
Patient Privacy and confidentiality are very important to me and therefore I have chosen a platform called Doxy.me to connect with clients using video-conferencing online. This system is HIPAA compliant and secure (encrypted). No software needs to be downloaded and there is no registration needed.
How to Connect?
Chances are you already have all the equipment you need to engage in a telehealth visit.
Here are the basics needed:
- Computer, smartphone or tablet
- Microphone (if not included in the mobile device or computer)
- Webcam (if not included in the mobile device or computer)
- Email address to receive the invite with link
