Telehealth Effectiveness
It is an incredible time of change in the mental health field. New research is released on a daily basis, and many advancements continue to be made in treatment and medication. Millions of "telehealth" appointments (including phone and video sessions) are taking place every year across a wide range of mental health, medical, and substance abuse services. A growing body of evidence has shown that these services can be as or better than in-person services.
Our services are backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
While you might feel it may be a bit awkward to meet by video, most of our clients report that it is more comfortable and less stressful than coming into a physical office on the first visit. After a session or two, it's hard to imagine meeting the old-fashioned way.
What are some of the many additional benefits of meeting by phone or video?
-
No waiting in traffic or wasting gas.
-
Lower overhead = lower fees.
-
Easily fit a session into a lunch hour.
-
Access to quality services no matter where you're located.
-
You'll never run into someone you know from work or your personal life by accident.
-
Eliminates barriers for the disabled and those without vehicles.
-
The ability to continue services while on vacation, business travel, or at school.
