I'm offering Telehealth through SimplePractice. My clients use the secure client portal to access all practice documents and login to their telehealth sessions. Simple Practice is easy to use, convenient and secure.

 

 

What is Telehealth?

Through audio and video over the internet, you can meet with your clinician on-the-go from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device (iOS or Android) - it's your choice!

Telehealth allows us to connect anywhere with secure and convenient appointments that save you time and hassle. There's no need to deal with traffic when you can schedule and attend your appointments directly from a laptop or mobile device.  

 

What equipment do I need?

To participate in Telehealth appointments from your home, you will need one of the following devices:

  • Desktop computer with a webcam, speakers, a 2.5 GHz processor, and 4 GB of RAM OR
  • Laptop computer with built-in webcam and speakers, a 2.5 GHz processor, and 4 GB of RAM OR

If you plan to use a desktop or laptop, there is nothing to download prior to your appointment. Here are the steps to join:

 

  • Approximately 10 minutes before your appointment, you'll receive an email appointment reminder.
  • Note: If you have already consented to receiving text and/or email reminders,  you will continue to receive them for Telehealth appointments as well. For new clients, make sure you have provided your email and or mobile phone number so that I can enable email or text reminders.
  • Click the unique link embedded in the reminder. You may have to copy and paste the link into your web browser if clicking the link does not work. Your video call screen will now open in a new tab.
