Why people choose telehealth
Telehealth can reduce travel time, make scheduling easier, improve access for people with mobility or transportation barriers, and expand options beyond the immediate neighborhood.
What to consider
- A private place where you can speak comfortably
- Reliable internet and a device with audio/video
- A backup plan if the connection fails
- How emergencies are handled when you are remote
- Whether the therapist is licensed or otherwise authorized where you are located
When in-person care may be preferable
Some clinical situations, safety concerns, technology limitations, or personal preferences may make in-person treatment more appropriate.
