Appointments at a distance
In light of these unprecedented times we will now be conducting secure video appointments until further notice. Coaching and Therapy Services can be conducted by phone or video based on your preference. We understand that there’s widespread concern in our community about the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), and the health of our patients continues to be my top priority. With the increasing uncertainty and growing number of infected individuals around the world, we encourage you to take advantage of these new services.
Research shows that remote “telehealth” sessions can be just as effective as in-person appointments, and we can continue your care without interruption. Telehealth allows us to connect anywhere with secure and convenient appointments through audio and video over the internet. There’s no need to leave your home, you can schedule and attend your appointments directly from a laptop or mobile device. We use a service called SimplePractice to conduct remote appointments. SimplePractice, LLC, uses a HIPAA compliant software so your information will be securely kept the same as any other face-to-face appointment.
What will you need?
To participate in Telehealth appointments from your home, you will need one of the following devices:
You will also need an internet connection that is at least 10mbps. For optimal results a reliable, high-speed internet connection with a bandwidth of at least 10mbps will minimize connection issues and provide the best quality. You can test your internet connection speed using a service like speedtest.net.
