I previously worked exclusively in-office, until the world stopped and everything went virtual for a time. During that period, I learned that telehealth, or teletherapy, was effective and convenient for my clients. Travel time, traffic delays, parking problems, accessibility issues, and new clients getting lost were no longer difficulties. People could address their concerns in their day-to-day environment, saving time, gas, and effort. I use a 100% HIPAA-compliant video conference platform, offering full privacy, no new software required. Clients can connect from anywhere in California.
