What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy is providing therapy through a live video connection, over the internet. Terri provides the same treatment as she would in person, except now it is  done through a computer!  When you have used Zoom or FaceTime on your iPhone, you have used the same type of technology teletherapy uses.  Therapy is evolving with technology by providing connection with the therapist and client through telecommunication technology.

How Teletherapy works

Through a secure platform clinicians link to clients through and internet connection and video.  Through the platform client and clinician can interact just as they would if in person.  Instead of face to face sessions we are on a video platform.

What is needed for Teletherapy?

A computer, laptop or mobile phone with microphone and camera.  You will also need a stable internet connection.

Key benefits of Teletherapy

• Ease of travel as no need to leave home: No long commutes or traffic, just close the door in a safe place and log into your session
• Convenience: Just close your door in a safe place and link to your teletherapy.  You don’t have to leave anywhere to rush to get to your appointment.
• Concerns when sick: Can still meet for telehealth if concerns of exposing others to illness or concerns of being exposed.  Telehealth can ease anxieties and lead the way to meeting face to face.

• Time savings: No commute, finding parking and time spent in the waiting room
