Telemental Health simply means you are receiving mental health services from a remote location. This is typically done through some communication medium such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. You may have already had experience with this modality of delivery as physicians have been using similar technology to treat patients with medical ailments for years. In the event of disagreeable weather, a planned or unexpected trip out of town you may make, or simply preference, this is an option you can feel free to utilize at any time throughout the course of treatment. It is not uncommon for patients to combine both in-person and telemental health options in order to customize their experience. Don’t feel obligated to choose one over the other!
