We are now offering teletherapy sessions to residents in over 30 states. Check out our Provider Search By State page to learn more about which providers can provide teletherapy services to residents in any particular state.

With advances in modern technology, you can now see one of our therapists from the comfort of your home. Our licensed clinical psychologists are able to provide therapy to you in the same way we would if you were here in our offices.

How does teletherapy work?
Teletherapy works very similarly to Skype or Facetime. We use a platform called Telehealth by SimplePractice. There’s an app you can download or you can access the platform through your computer as well. Telehealth by SimplePractice is HIPAA compliant to ensure that our sessions are safe, secure, private, and confidential!

Pros
Increased convenience. There is no need to beat traffic and pay for parking and/or a metro ride which saves time and money!

Flexibility in scheduling. You’re not confined to only after work hours as long as you can find a comfortable, private place to hold the teletherapy session. This may also help to decrease missed visits because it can be easier for the clinician to reschedule appointments.

Be in the comfort of your own home. Doing teletherapy from your home allows you to be a familiar, safe environment.

Cons
The cons of teletherapy can be that the connection might be poor from time to time if you don’t have great internet signal strength. You’ll also need to ensure you have privacy within your home to conduct the teletherapy sessions.

Session Fees
Our standard session rates apply. We don’t accept insurance, but you can submit your receipts to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. We have partnered with Reimbursify for you to do this easily and for free. Your insurance company apply your session fees towards your out-of-network deductible and once that deductible is met, they’ll send you a check directly for whatever amount they agree to pay. Most, but not all, insurance companies cover telehealth. So if you would like, please confirm that your insurance company covers telehealth prior to setting up your first appointment. 

PSYPACT is an interstate compact that allows the practice of telepsychology across state boundaries with residents of states that have joined. Licensed Clinical Psychologists in the participating states have to apply to get permission from the PSYPACT Commission to be able to provide telepsychology services to residents in the states that have joined PSYPACT. Many of our psychologists on staff have applied and gotten approval to begin seeing clients in participating states.

In short, what this means is if you live in one of the 31 states listed below, our PSYPACT psychologists can provide telehealth services to you now or in the near future!

In addition to providing services in Virginia and Washington, DC, our Registered Dietitians on staff can all practice via teletherapy in the following 21 states:
