Online Counseling/Telehealth

Platform

Conscious Roots Counseling uses Simple Practice for our Online Counseling sessions. Simple Practice is HIPAA compliant, which ensures that your sessions are only between you and your therapist / counselor. Prior to an Online Counseling session, you will receive a link for the "virtual waiting room" that you can open in a web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet. 

Benefits

You can use Online Counseling regularly or intermittently, depending on your needs. Online Counseling offers convenience and can help you stay more engaged in your treatment if traveling to the office becomes difficult. 

Requirements

In order to participate in Online Counseling you must complete the necessary intake paperwork that we send electronically. Additionally, you need to ensure that you have access to high-speed internet and that you can video chat in a private space.
