Telehealth or Virtual Appointments

During the current COVID19 pandemic, per new regulations and permissions allowed by most insurance companies, our medication and therapy providers have changed to providing tele-health to keep you and your loved ones safe while continuing to provide support and access to care. Most patients pay their standard copy or cost share for each tele-health appointment. Please keep in mind that ultimately tele-health coverage is at the discretion of your individual insurance plan.  

In a field where we, as providers, and you, as patients, are familiar with sitting in a room across from each other, this has been a change in an already shifting world; a world which has changed very quickly for all of us in many ways.   We understand that this is a time of extreme transition and may bring up anxiety or stress. It can be especially helpful in this time to have a place where you can reach out and receive support by professionals who are there for you. Whether you have had therapy in the past, or are new to therapy, the shift to tele-health allows us to meet with you, essentially, in your living room. Most patients describe it as being the same as when you watch a movie, and at some point you become immersed in the show and forget that you are looking at a screen. We hope the links below are helpful for those of you who may have questions about starting and/or continuing therapy or medication management through tele-health.

So find somewhere comfortable, pour a cup of coffee or tea, sit down, and welcome to Telehealth with Psychology Associates of Brevard.
