+ WHAT IS Online or TELEHEALTH therapy?

Online therapy or telehealth (also called telepsychology or telemental health) is the provision of psychological services using telecommunication technologies. Telecommunication technologies include but is not limited to telephone, interactive videoconferencing, email, text, chat and internet. I provide telehealth through interactive videoconferencing.

+ WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

There are many benefits to telehealth. One of the biggest benefits is convenience! Have your session from the comfort of your own home or office. No travel time involved-think of the gas you’ll save! Minimize risk of physical illness by limiting travel, even if just around town. Life gets unpredictable, telehealth allows support to be consistent.

+ WHAT ARE THE RISKS?

Of course, there are some risks. As you are in your own environment, I am unable to ensure complete privacy. There may also be some technical issues that can interrupt or stop a session.

+ WHAT DO I NEED?

All you need to engage in telehealth is a computer, smartphone, or tablet (with camera and mic/speakers) and a strong internet connection (10mbps). It is also helpful to have an environment that is private and free from distractions (like nosey pets!). Headphones can really help with this!

+ IS IT SECURE?

Yes! About ten minutes before, my system will send you an email with a secure link that will take you right to our appointment. All you have to do is click, and you’re there!

+ WILL MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THERAPY?

I am not in-network with any insurance providers, I am considered an out-of-network (OON) provider. You may have out-of-network benefits depending on your insurance and specific plan, that will allow you to submit directly to your insurance to be reimbursed for a portion of the cost. If you are unsure, you can contact your insurance and ask about out-of-network benefits for mental health services.

If you have out-of-network benefits that you choose to use for services, all fees must be paid up front.

NOTE: In order to be reimbursed using your out-of-network benefits, a mental health diagnosis is necessary, it will go on your permanent health record, and your insurance company will be allowed to access your health record. If you do not meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis, you may not be able to receive reimbursement.

+ WHY DO YOU NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE?

There are several reasons why I decided not to be in relationship with insurance companies.

-Insurance companies have more control and ability to dictate treatment which I prefer to be in our hands.

-Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis which becomes part of your permanent health record and often is not applicable for couples. This is also contrary to my value that one does not have to be in crisis or meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis, to deserve support to enhance their self-understanding, relationships, and sex life. Everyone deserves support, mental health diagnosis or not.

-Insurance requires a degree of its own. Rather than spending time learning the ins-and-outs of how insurance works, I prefer to spend my time engaging in continuing education and research that helps support my work with YOU, allowing complete focus on you.
