WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH THERAPY?

Convenience: Telehealth services are available from your home, office, and while traveling. This provides a new level of flexibility to patients who are unable to make it to an in-person visit or simply don’t have the time or means to commute. Patients can use their phone, tablet, or computer to connect with a therapist via video conference.

Accessibility: Telehealth services can make mental health therapy appointments more accessible. Patients may become more likely to seek therapy services if they don’t have to leave their homes. Those who have limited mobility or live in more rural areas where access to mental health clinics is difficult to come by, now have easier, improved access through telehealth. In contrast, they may not have had access to these services otherwise. Telehealth also allows for extended hours, which makes mental healthcare more accessible for those who can’t take time off work for an appointment. Life Discovery Service does offer evening appointments to accommodate a variety of work and school schedules.

Comfort: Patients can remain in their homes throughout their therapy sessions. But, if a patient feels more comfortable speaking to someone from their own couch or office, telehealth makes that possible. Additionally, social stigmas surrounding mental health that patients may face can be avoided.
