Olive and Vine Counseling offers therapeutic services exclusively online through a secure HIPAA compliant video platform. This type of service is typically referred to as Tele-health because the appointments are conducted via live video conferencing with you and your provider instead of in-person meetings. With this type of service, you will need a device with an internet connection.
There are several benefits to Tele-health services. Since this type of service is provided online, you are able to conduct your appointments in the comfort of your own home or a setting that is more familiar to you. Additionally, Tele-health services are convenient for those with busy work or school schedules. Furthermore, a possible advantage of Telehealth services is reduction in overall costs and time in therapy services due to not having to drive to and from an office location. Lastly, Telehealth services increase the availability of services to those that may not have convenient and/or consistent transportation as well as those that may be homebound or individuals with limited mobility.
Tele-health services would not be a good fit for someone who is in a crisis or emergency situation. Additionally, if you live in an area with inconsistent internet access, Tele-health services may not be a good fit.
