Yes! Studies show that it is just as effective. Read more here.

For a virtual appointment, you need a good internet connection and a private space to join the session. It is also helpful to have decent lighting and anything else you may need for the hour (tissues, water, headphones). Read more on how to prepare.

I use an online practice management system called IntakeQ. All virtual sessions will take place through this secure, HIPAA-compliant system. You will receive a link to the session through the online practice portal and through either email or text message (however you choose to get appointment reminders).

If we lose connection during a virtual session, we will spend a few minutes troubleshooting. This could be ending and rejoining the call or restarting the device. However, time is precious and if troubleshooting doesn't help us reconnect, I will give you a call on the phone number you provide.

PsyPact is an interstate compact that allows licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology and provide services to clients across state lines, without needing to obtain additional licenses in each state.

I am a member of PsyPact. Find out more about PsyPact here.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take you on as a client at this time, but I am happy to help you find someone who is licensed in your state. Also, states are frequently introducing legislation to be included in PsyPact, so I could potentially work with you in the future!

To verify if your state is included under PsyPact, see the map here.
