Why choose teletherapy?
Whether you're in Chicago, Springfield, Rockford, Carbondale, or anywhere in between, teletherapy gives you direct access to experienced, compassionate care. Here’s why many clients across Illinois choose virtual therapy:
-
Flexibility: Accommodates irregular work schedules, allowing you to receive support at times that suit you best.
-
Convenience for New Parents: Enables parents with newborns to access therapy without the need to leave home, providing support during this critical period.
-
Accessibility: Overcomes barriers such as lack of transportation or childcare, ensuring that therapy is within reach for everyone.
-
Reach: Connects clients in underserved or remote areas of Illinois with qualified therapists, bridging the gap in high-quality, specialized mental health services.
Teletherapy considerations
While teletherapy is a valuable resource, there are certain factors to keep in mind:
-
Licensing Restrictions: Our clinicians are licensed to practice in Illinois. Therefore, you must be physically present in Illinois during sessions. If you plan to travel out of state, please inform your clinician at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule your appointment.
-
Privacy at Home: Ensure you have a private, quiet space for your sessions. In busy households, this might require coordination to minimize interruptions and ensure privacy.
-
Specific Therapeutic Needs: For conditions like social anxiety, specific phobias, or anhedonic depression, initial sessions via teletherapy may be appropriate. However, your clinician might recommend transitioning to in-person sessions as part of your therapeutic process.
-
Session Content: For discussions involving sensitive topics, scheduling sessions during times when you can fully engage without distractions is advisable.
Please note that insurance companies typically require telehealth sessions to be conducted via live video conferencing platforms and may not cover sessions conducted over the phone. If you have concerns about using video conferencing or insurance coverage, please contact our office to discuss alternative arrangements.
The logistics of teletherapy
Embarking on your teletherapy journey with Your Family Wellness Village is straightforward:
All teletherapy sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant portal hosted by Simple Practice.
Prior to each session, you'll receive a one-time secure link via email, granting you access to our virtual waiting room where your clinician will meet you at the scheduled time. For laptop users, the link opens directly in your browser. If you're using a phone or tablet, you'll need to download the appropriate application.
At Your Family Wellness Village, we are committed to providing accessible, compassionate, and effective teletherapy services to parents and families throughout Illinois. Our specialized focus on perinatal therapy ensures you receive the support you need during this transformative time.
