Telehealth Consent

Telehealth allows you to receive therapy through secure video or phone sessions. Before participating, please review the following:

What Telehealth Involves

  • Sessions take place via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

  • Services are similar to in-person therapy, except delivered remotely.

Benefits

  • Convenience and flexibility.

  • Accessibility if travel or scheduling is difficult.

Risks

  • Technical failures (internet disruptions, dropped calls).

  • Privacy limitations if you are not in a confidential space.

Client Responsibilities

  • Ensure you are in a private, quiet location where you feel safe speaking openly.

  • Have a stable internet connection and backup plan (phone call if video fails).

  • Notify me immediately if safety concerns arise.

Therapist Responsibilities

  • Use a secure platform to protect your confidentiality.

  • Provide emergency resources if needed.

  • Maintain the same standards of care as in-person sessions.

By scheduling a telehealth session, you are acknowledging you have read and consent to these terms.
