Why Telehealth?
Telehealth is therapy using a secure, HIPPA compliant, online video platform. I currently use SimplePractice for this service.
You’ll be sent a link for the video appointment to your email about 10 minutes before each appointment. Click on it when our appointment is scheduled to start or open it through the Telehealth by SimplePractice app (Download it free in the app store. You will need to do this if using a phone or tablet). You can use the camera and audio on your computer or mobile device.
Increased Access: Many individuals live in areas that make it difficult to get to therapy appointments. With Telehealth you can receive therapy services from anywhere. Since I am licensed in the state of WI, I can see clients from anywhere in the state!
Less time: Since you can receive therapy services from anywhere when using telehealth, there is no travel time or time spent in a waiting room.
