Telehealth therapy offers a convenient way to connect with your therapist remotely through video calls
or phone calls. Many therapists provide telehealth as an option, and some work exclusively online.
We offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy sessions through your patient portal. Some employers also offer telehealth therapy services (potentially free to you as an employee) as part of their total benefits package through employee assistance programs (EAPs). Depending on your insurance or if you’re paying out of pocket, you may have more flexibility in choosing a therapist who fits your needs, regardless of location.

 

Deciding whether to do a telehealth session depends on your personal circumstances and comfort
level. If you have a busy schedule, struggle with transportation, or live in an area with limited mental
health resources, telehealth can make therapy more accessible. It’s also a great option if you need
support quickly and don’t want to wait for an in-person appointment. However, if you don’t have a
private space at home or if you feel more comfortable talking face-to-face, in-person therapy may be a
better fit. Certain types of therapy, such as trauma-focused treatments, may also be more effective in
an office setting.

 

At Veritas Mental Health, we offer the flexibility of telehealth! Many factors may contribute to choosing telehealth, including client personal preference, cases of inclement weather, unforeseen events that come up before an appointment, or sickness. Reach out to your therapist to talk more about this if you think telehealth could be valuable or useful on your journey towards healing! Don’t wait! Book your appointment now.
