While sessions in an office provide an effective form of psychotherapy, I now exclusively offer Telehealth. Also known as Teletherapy, our sessions use a secure video platform known as VSEE. The VSEE platform is designed to be a secure data transmission with client privacy being a top priority. They use state-of-the-art security and encryption which ensures that you feel safe and comfortable.

You may have difficulty finding time to come into a therapy office on a regular basis due to work demands, distance from your therapist, or because you are juggling childcare and transportation issues. Teletherapy minimizes these potential roadblocks and still provides you the support and direction you need. You can use teletherapy sessions throughout our work together or just when it is convenient. Covid has also changed the landscape of therapy and convenience and safety became more important than seeing a therapist in person. Many individuals prefer to utilize the mode of seeing their therapist.

During our first session, I will complete an evaluation to see if you are an appropriate client for teletherapy. This service is not a good fit for everyone. Otherwise teletherapy with me can be used by anyone living in the state of California and Oregon. In regards to payment, teletherapy is now covered by many insurance companies. However, some insurance companies cover only telephone calls rather than video. Your insurance’s customer representative will able to explain your eligibility. I also offer these services to any client who pays privately. If all our sessions are completed through VSEE, you will fill out the appropriate forms (online) and be paying the needed payment by credit, debit or FSA/HSA card. I will be happy to discuss what works best for you when you telephone me at 760-822-7729.
