Teletherapy

Teletherapy is the use of electronic data transmissions to treat the needs of clients. This means the practice of mental health diagnosis, consultation, treatment, therapy, transfer of mental health data, and education using interactive audio, video, or data communications. The electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of protected health information, personal identifying information, and mental health records. Electronic systems and services also include measures to safeguard this data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption and security breach.
