Telehealth is Insight Counseling Center’s way of being socially responsible. We are holding all sessions on our HIPPA compliant online program, Simple Practice. We will send you the link and walk you through this quick and easy set up. Many of our clients were already using this online platform to hold their therapy session in the comfort of their home.
The fear of the unknown and uncertainty of the coming future, is scary and anxiety provoking. Insight Counseling Center Miami is doing its part in being socially responsible. During this time of isolation and social distancing, we are doing everything we can to help you through this isolative and uncertain time.
We are making this required transition to telehealth, as well as many other therapists, only due to COVID – 19. After we, as a worldwide effort, beat this virus, all clients will have the choice of returning to the therapy office or continuing online sessions in the comfort of their home.
In the meantime, you can find daily tips on how to make the most of your time at home. @melinda_in_miami will be providing tools to keep your anxiety down and strategies to turn these isolative days into a productive and motivating time. We will also be posting free and accessible online resources to help you develop tools and cope with your thoughts, concerns, and emotions.
We understand many are out of work or experiencing decreased income, we want to make therapy available. We are offering reduced fees to allow those who want therapy to have access to it.
