TOP-RATED Online Therapy Houston
ONLINE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
Telehealth allows us to provide mental health services to our clients via live, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have access to a computer or smartphone, as long as you’re located in the state of Texas at the time of our appointment.
Telehealth
Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment?
Do you live in a more rural area, or maybe you prefer to just do things virtually?
If so, we can help you through virtual therapy, also known as telehealth.
Telehealth appointments can be very beneficial if getting to a traditional in-person appointment is not convenient, or if you simply don’t want to attend therapy sessions at an office.
Our telehealth solution allows you to schedule an appointment directly online and have the entire therapy session take place digitally. While you don’t need a video camera, we do recommend you use one.
