TELE-HEALTH

During Covid-19 Stay in Place Orders, all services, including Intakes, are being conducted using the Thera-Link Telehealth platform. This platform features a HIPAA compliant system which has double-end encryption guaranteed to assure the contents of your session remain confidential and is a safer, professional alternative to platforms like Zoom or WhatsApp.

Options to receive psychotherapy treatment by Thera-Link Tele-health will otherwise be based on your preference, or on an as needed basis, by mutual agreement.

Whenever possible, it is beneficial to have the first few treatment sessions in person to afford a greater sense of connection and familiarity.

How it works:

1. Prior to your appointment, I will send you a registration email from Thera-link.

2. Upon filling it out, you will notify me.

3. I will then follow-up with another Thera-link generated email to you containing a link for your scheduled appointment, as per our scheduling.

4. At the time of your appointment, you click to join the meeting, and you will be directed to either an electronic waitroom, or if I am already online, to our live connection.

5. Please make sure you are in a house with excellent WiFi and that you are in a good reception area (usually the floor that your WiFi modem/router is on.

6. Make sure no one in your house using your WiFi is streaming a movie or music or if they are, have them be prepared to stop if bandwidth problems interfere with your telehealth session.

7. You can use any recent smartphone, laptop, computer, or tablet to connect through theralink.

It’s simple, but usually takes doing once or twice until its second nature.
