Telehealth

At Premier Counseling and Wellness, we offer both in-person and telehealth services as you seek care for your unique needs.  Telehealth is the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to access health care services remotely.  Our team members use teletherapy via Simple Practice software to conduct therapy sessions. Simple Practice is HIPAA compliant and is designed for counselors and health care professionals.

Benefits of Telehealth:

Virtual visits are growing in popularity as they provide easier access to counseling services. Though in-person office visits may be necessary in certain situations, there are many benefits of telehealth.

• Virtual visits ensure you get health care wherever you are located – at home, at work or even in your car
• Virtual visits cut down on travel, time off from work, and the need for child-care
• Virtual health care tools can shorten the wait for an appointment
• Limited physical contact reduces everyone’s exposure to COVID-19
• Increased access to specialists who are located far away from your hometown

Telehealth is not a perfect fit for everyone. Although telehealth may be desired, this form of communication may not be appropriate for each client’s unique counseling treatment and must be agreed upon between each client and counselor.
