Telehealth (Online/Virtual Therapy)
Talk to Your Therapist From Your Home
At the Tikkun Center for Psychotherapy, we know our patients have busy lives. That’s why we offer both in-person as well as telehealth sessions. Online therapy works just like in-person therapy, except that you can meet with us from the comfort of your home, office, or any other confidential place.
Online therapy via telehealth is great for:
You’re juggling multiple things—such as work, children and childcare, hobbies—and have limited time, but you're ready to invest in your mental health.
Many people feel more comfortable in their own space and may have limitations that make leaving their home challenging such as traffic, childcare, or the actual distance to the therapy office.
Maybe you live in another part of California, but you would really like to work with someone on our team or are struggling to find counseling services in your area.
How Does it Work?
Before each scheduled session we will send you a reminder by email and text that includes a personalized video link.
We use a telehealth platform called Simple Practice, which is confidential and HIPAA compliant. If you plan to use a phone or tablet you will need to download the Simple Practice app before your first session.
If you are doing couples or family counseling, you and your partner or family members can attend a session in different locations. You will each be given a link to the session that everyone can use to join separately if that’s most convenient for you.
A successful online therapy session requires a few things:
A private space. This could be a room in your home, your backyard, your office, or even in your parked car. We never provide therapy to patients while driving.
You need a good internet or cellular connection—fast enough to stream video.
A computer, phone, or tablet with a camera. Depending on your surroundings, you may want headphones.
