Telehealth Services at Insights Psychology

Accessible mental counseling online and virtual psychiatrist services from the comfort of your home

What is Telehealth

Telehealth, or telepsychology, is a method of delivering mental health services virtually through audio/video sessions instead of meeting your provider in person. At Insights Psychology, we offer online counseling for children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families. Our services include online couples therapy, virtual EMDR therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT, and IFS therapy. We also provide online medication management appointments with a virtual psychiatrist.

Benefits of Telehealth

Telehealth is a convenient option for clients who are unable to travel to our clinic location. It allows you to schedule therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home, office, or even your car, provided you are parked in a safe space. This flexibility helps reduce stress from travel, childcare arrangements, or work schedule adjustments. It also increases access to quality mental health services for clients living in rural areas or further away from the city. If you are looking for online therapy that takes insurance, Insights Psychology has you covered.

Insurance Coverage

Most insurance providers offer full coverage for telehealth services, similar to in-person services. If you have questions about your coverage, it is best to contact your insurance provider to confirm the details. We will ensure that you can find an online psychiatrist that takes insurance at Insights Psychology.

To avoid connection issues, close other applications that might slow down your internet. Before your appointment, review the instructions in your appointment reminder email and use the provided link to join your provider’s online waiting room.

State Licensing Guidelines

State licensing guidelines require that clients be physically present in the state where their provider is licensed to practice psychology. If you plan to travel, inform your provider beforehand, as we cannot schedule telehealth appointments if you are out of state or overseas. Clients of Drs. Hina Siddiqui and Mollie Newhouse can have telehealth sessions from a PsyPact approved state (see map at https://bit.ly/PsyPact, as these psychologists hold a PsyPact license).
