Wellness 360 is excited to offer you the opportunity to attend your therapy sessions through a virtual platform! Telehealth therapy is an excellent alternative to the traditional, in-person, therapy sessions. Teletherapy provides wonderful continuity of care, as you will have the flexibility to attend your therapy sessions despite the obstacles that occur in life. While you may have had your concerns throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, teletherapy allows appointments to take place in the comfort of your own home. Furthermore, you can take advantage of teletherapy when you are traveling or feeling “under the weather.” Even when life’s complications hinder you to arrive at our office on time, teletherapy affords you the means to maintain your scheduled time and avoid any late or missed appointment fees.
Wellness 360 is delighted to offer our clients telehealth services! Teletherapy is another excellent resource in our already diverse wellness arsenal. We are committed to providing safe and ethical care for all of our clients. Starting therapy is now just one click away!
Telehealth/teletherapy brings therapy to the comfort of your own home.
At Wellness 360, telehealth or teletherapy refers to therapy sessions that occur online through interactive video conferencing. For a teletherapy session, a therapist will send a link through our online secure messaging system to a private Zoom meeting. When it is time for your appointment, you click on the link from any device (e.g., smartphone, computer, tablet) that has an internet connection and a camera. We recommend you be in a space with few distractions and a reasonable amount of privacy so that you feel present and comfortable discussing personal topics.
Teletherapy offers several benefits.
- Teletherapy looks very similar to the service provided in office. Therapists meet 1-on-1 with clients online and create individualized treatment plans to meet your goals.
- You’re able to engage in therapy from the comfort and security of your home.
- For those with health concerns, you’re able to remain in the safety of your home environment.
- There’s no commute!
