The Gaiser Center offers telehealth services for anyone who needs support but can’t always come to our outpatient office. Using a secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform, you can do assessments, individual counseling, and group sessions from home. Flexible appointment times are available!

Telehealth is helpful when life gets busy. Things like transportation, childcare, work, or unexpected events shouldn’t keep you from getting the care you need. It can also help you meet legal or probation requirements when scheduling is tough.

To join, you’ll need reliable internet, a private space, a valid email address, and a phone number in case we get disconnected. Our team will guide you through the process and help you get started.

If you’d like to set up an appointment, call 724-287-8205 or visit gaisercenter.com/confidential-form.
