TERRA TELEHEALTH
What is telehealth?
Through audio and video over the internet, you can meet with your clinician on-the-go from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device (iOS or Android)—it’s your choice!
Telehealth allows us to connect anywhere with secure and convenient appointments that save you time and hassle. There’s no need to deal with traffic when you can schedule and attend your appointments directly from a laptop or mobile device.
Telehealth therapy sessions are defined as sessions that “use interactive audio, video, or other telecommunications or electronic media by a counselor or therapist to deliver counseling services (COMAR 10.58.06).” Telehealth sessions may be necessary due to geographic, health, and/or therapeutic need. The availability of telehealth sessions are subject to the same limitations as in-person sessions but also rely upon third-party technology up-time (internet service provider, telephone, and/or telehealth video provider).
