Telehealth counseling is an excellent way to get help that is convenient, secure, and time-sensitive. Virtual counseling is as effective as in-person counseling and clients have found the convenience and safety to be added benefits.
Telehealth services provided by SBHC include the use of a private, HIPPA-Compliant tele-health platform (Simple-Practice) through which confidential counseling services are delivered.
