Teletherapy services offer an alternative to face-to-face meetings, which may not always be possible due to geographic distance or scheduling conflicts. There is a lot of good evidence showing that you can form a good therapeutic relationship using teletherapy, and that teletherapy can help people with all sorts of issues. Advances in technology have made it possible to engage in a therapeutic relationship through online video-based services while maintaining HIPAA and other privacy standards.
At this time, I am only offering virtual services. If you are interested in working with someone in a more traditional face-to-face setting, please let me know and I can offer some referrals.
I provide teletherapy through the program Doxy. This platform offers end-to-end encrypted video connection that meets privacy standards outlined by HIPAA. With Doxy it is not possible to decrypt information shared using their video services, even if the video stream were recorded. By using a system that ensures end-to-end encryption rather than a non-encrypted service such as Skype or Face Time, I am able to ensure the same level of privacy you would get with a face-to-face meeting.
In order to engage in teletherapy services you must have access to a computer or mobile device, a stable internet connection in a private location, Chrome internet browser and a web camera.
