You may be wondering about if online counseling/Telehealth is for you.
It is not like another zoom meeting or class! This is a very different experience. I have provided online counseling and telehealth counseling services for several years now. I originally became certified and trained in this to work with missionaries. Through this process, I saw how well this format of counseling worked for people. There are many reasons for this! A few of the many benefits are:
- Lower copays usually for those using insurance
- Ease of access to counseling services
- More immediate access to counseling services
- Greater ease in emergency situations
- Rural communities having access
- Efficient
- Secure and confidential (We use a HIPPA compliant system named Doxy that does not require any downloads and it is the same link each time we meet! This is the link: HTTPS://DOXY.ME/SUREHOPE)
- Research has shown this format of counseling to be the same level of effectiveness in comparison to in person treatment.
- Some research has shown it to be more effective for certain issues in comparison to in person treatment.
- Great way to have consistent treatment during travel or if in another country (i.e. missionary, business trips, etc.).
- If health concerns arise this is a wonderful option to maintain consistency in reaching your goals!
If you have questions about if your insurance covers online counseling/ telehealth counseling you would call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
“Do I have coverage for synchronized telehealth for mental health visits?” If yes, ask “What is my copay?
