What is telehealth?
Telehealth allows you to access psychiatric care without visiting your mental health provider in person. The technology Holistic Behavioral & TMS Therapy employs is similar to the videoconferencing apps you might use to chat with family and friends or attend work meetings.
Telehealth is a good match for mental health services, as an online consultation is similar to a face-to-face meeting. You can access the appointment via your tablet or laptop using secure connections.
What can I use telehealth appointments for?
You can use telehealth for many of the same reasons that you’d visit Holistic Behavioral & TMS Therapy in person, including:
- Psychiatric evaluations
- Therapy sessions
- Medication management
- Remote prescriptions
You can discuss a comprehensive range of mental health problems using telehealth, from depression and anxiety to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and grief.
What are the benefits of telehealth?
Telehealth has significant benefits for patients. It’s convenient and safe and makes mental health services accessible and affordable. Telehealth can also make the experience less stressful.
For one thing, you avoid the crowds and bustle you’d encounter on your way to an in-person consultation. For another, you don’t have to interact with anyone apart from your therapist, potentially relieving you of a considerable challenge facing many people with mental health problems.
You can access mental health services using telehealth even if you’re sick, housebound, or have no ready means of transport. Telehealth also eliminates the problem of finding time to travel to and from an in-person doctor’s appointment.
Is telehealth secure?
Understandably, you may be worried about your personal data security when using telehealth, but you needn’t be as a Holistic Behavioral & TMS Therapy patient.
The team’s telehealth services are safe and secure and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulations.
The practice must have security measures that ensure the confidentiality of your personal health information to gain HIPAA approval.
