Telehealth

Telehealth therapy offers a convenient way to connect with your therapist remotely through video calls or phone calls. Many therapists provide telehealth as an option, and some work exclusively online.  How do you know if telehealth is a good choice for you?  And how should you choose a telehealth provider if so?

 

Deciding whether to do a telehealth session depends on your personal circumstances and comfort level. If you have a busy schedule, struggle with transportation, or live in an area with limited mental health resources, telehealth can make therapy more accessible and convenient. It’s also a great option if you need support quickly and don’t have time for an appointment, especially if you have a commute (lunch hour therapy, anyone?).

​

Telehealth can be a powerful tool for mental health — but not all platforms are created equal. While large, national therapy apps work for many people, they often don't accept local insurance plans, and you may be matched with a therapist whose values or approach don't quite fit.

​

Before committing to a corporate therapy platform, consider starting with a local provider.  We offer secure, accessible telehealth sessions delivered by therapists who understand the cultural landscape of Utah County and truly get where you're coming from.

 

If you don’t have a private space at home or if you feel more comfortable talking face-to-face, in-person therapy may be a better fit. Certain types of therapy, such as trauma-focused treatments, may also be more effective in an office setting.

​

Several factors may contribute to choosing telehealth, including the client's personal preference, inclement weather, unforeseen events that arise before an appointment, or illness.
