Telemental Health Services
Encompass Counseling is pleased to offer telemental health services to our clients. This virtual option is an alternative to coming into the office to receive counseling and case management services.
HOW TELEMENTAL HEALTH WORKS
These virtual services are completed via secure video conference or telephone sessions via Zoom technology:
-
Zoom is FREE to all clients. Clients must provide internet access and a valid email address.
-
Use your smart phone, tablet or computer (smart phone/tablet may be easiest).
-
You, the client/guardian, will receive an e-mail from Encompass/CCHO with a private link to be opened in a web browser or in the Zoom app (if you choose to download it).
-
Zoom is secure communication through Encompass/CCHO; however, you are strongly encouraged to take caution to protect your privacy with regard to your location during the online therapy session.
