Online therapy is a relatively new innovation that takes advantage of the growth of the online community and the convenience of online services. While not constructed to take the place of traditional therapy, online therapy may be a convenient, effective and secure way to begin addressing some of your specific concerns.
The telemedicine platform that we use, Zoom, takes privacy and security very seriously. We implement state of the art security and encryption protocols to assure that data integrity and privacy is maintained. As a result, Zoom complies with HIPAA and HITECH requirements.
