Benefits of Telehealth
Dr. Palmitier offers convenient psychotherapy sessions through video or phone. Telehealth has become increasingly popular during COVID-19 to maintain everyone's health. Telehealth also offers convenience and the opportunity to engage in your session at home, on a lunch break, or even while traveling. Many people are making the choice to begin or switch to telehealth sessions! Dr. Palmitier uses Simple Practice for telehealth, which is a HIPAA regulated and confidential telehealth platform.
There is a misconception that telehealth is not appropriate for children or adolescents. However, this is not the case! Teenagers especially benefit from telehealth as they are often familiar with communication through video and comfortable with technology. Dr. Palmitier has seen children as young as five years old for telehealth sessions. Please reach out for more information on how your child can benefit from telehealth.
