- Telehealth has been shown to be just as effective as in-person counseling for many mental health conditions.
- Convenience: you don’t have to leave your home, office, or school. In addition, you save time due to not having to drive to and from an office.
- Increased comfort level due to receiving therapy in an environment that you are comfortable and familiar with.
- Safety- we live in a world where we are all trying to adapt to our new “normal.” Telehealth allows for people to still be able to participate in therapy while “social distancing” and remaining safe.
How do I know when it is time to get support?
When something causes distress and interferes with some part of life. Particularly when the issue causes your quality of life to decrease, and/or it negatively impacts school, work, or relationships.
How long does therapy last?
Unfortunately there is no end-all-be-all answer to this question. Your therapy is catered to your individual needs and goals. In other words, depending on your goals, this can take anywhere from a few weeks, a few months, or more.
What health insurance do you accept?
Please check out the Counseling Services page for current accepted health insurance. If we do not currently accept your insurance, we can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance company for, “out of network” benefit coverage.
Do you offer in-person therapy?
We are currently offering both, in-person counseling at our office in Hanover, PA, and telehealth (video) sessions to people throughout all of Pennsylvania.
What do I need to do telehealth?
A stable internet connection, and either a smartphone, tablet, or computer (desktop or laptop). The device needs to have a camera for video sessions.
Telehealth (Video) Therapy
Pros
Cons
- Technical issues- there is the chance of a poor connection, lagging video or sound.
- Confidentiality- the therapist can assure confidentiality on their end, but the client is responsible for confidentiality from their end.
- May miss certain details- at times certain audio and visual cues may be missed which can impact therapy.
