What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is like a regular visit with a mental health professional, but instead of going to an office, you connect with care over video, phone, or online check-ins so you can talk to a professional from anywhere you are comfortable.
Telehealth is secure, private, and may already be available through your current healthcare provider. Coverage varies, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider for details.
