Convenient, Secure Therapy Wherever You Are
Telehealth allows you to meet with a HVCCT psychologist online, from the privacy and convenience of your home, office, college campus, or another appropriate location. Sessions are conducted through a secure video platform and offer the same individualized, evidence-based care as in-person therapy. HVCCT provides telehealth appointments for children, adolescents, adults, parents, and couples when clinically appropriate.

What to Expect From Telehealth
What to Expect From Telehealth
Before your first appointment, your psychologist will provide instructions for connecting to the secure video platform. You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you can speak comfortably.
Telehealth sessions follow the same general format as in-person appointments. Your psychologist will work collaboratively with you to understand your concerns, establish treatment goals, and develop practical strategies based on cognitive behavioral therapy.
