Telehealth Services

Based in San Diego, CA, my psychology practice proudly offers premier telehealth services to residents of California, Hawaii, Florida, and Virginia. Since March 2020, I've embraced a fully remote therapy model, conducting all sessions through secure videoconferencing or phone calls. While I no longer provide in-person appointments, my dedication to delivering accessible, high-quality virtual therapy continues to thrive, ensuring you receive the best psychological care wherever you are.

UNDERSTANDING TELEHEALTH

Telehealth, also known as telepsychology, telebehavioral health, or telemedicine, is a form of therapy conducted across distances through electronic means, such as interactive videoconferencing or telephone. This approach combines the best practices of traditional psychotherapy with the unique advantages offered by today's technology.

STATE LIMITATIONS

In adherence to state regulations, my online therapy services are presently limited to individuals residing in the U.S. states where I hold an active license, including:

  • California (PSY 22339)
  • Hawaii (PSY-1139)
  • Florida (TPPY111)
  • Virginia (0810007417)

BENEFITS OF TELEMENTAL HEALTH

  • Geographical flexibility
  • Reduced travel, including decreased travel time
  • Participation in therapy from the comfort of your own chosen environment

CONSIDERATIONS FOR TELEPSYCHOLOGY

  • Geographical flexibility
  • Reduced travel, including decreased travel time
  • Participation in therapy from the comfort of your own chosen environment

REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE THERAPY

To engage in therapy via the internet, you will need:

  • A webcam or smartphone during the session.
  • A quiet, distraction-free, and private space. 
  • A secure internet connection rather than public/free Wi-Fi.

Additional Telehealth Considerations​

  • Video-conferencing carries potential benefits and risks, including limits to patient confidentiality.
  • Confidentiality remains paramount, and no session will be recorded without mutual consent.
  • The chosen video-conferencing platform will be agreed upon, and instructions on its usage will be provided.
  • A backup plan, emergency contact, and the nearest emergency room details will be established for technical problems or crisis situations.
  • Before scheduling, confirm with your insurance company if video sessions are reimbursed; otherwise, full payment is expected.
  • I may, under certain circumstances, determine telepsychology is no longer appropriate.


If you have any questions or you would like to discuss the possibility of setting up a telehealth appointment, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you.

Telepsychology Competencies Credential

In 2022, I earned the Telepsychology Competencies Credential (TCC), a testament to my proficiency in adapting traditional psychological practices to the digital realm. This credential reflects my commitment to providing ethical and effective telepsychology services, ensuring I stay current and competent in meeting the evolving mental health needs of individuals in today's dynamic landscape.

Distance dissolves in the language of empathy. Telehealth makes mental health care a conversation, not a commute.
