Due to the recent Coronavirus epidemic, my practice is now providing most all client sessions through telephone and video conferences. We are primarily using Zoom and Doxy.me for these sessions. These websites and others allow us to meet via live video interaction. All you need on your end is a secure internet connection and a computer, tablet, or phone that has a camera. I will also need you to confirm an email address to which I can send an "invite" from Zoom or Doxy.me. At your appointment time you click on the link and log into my virtual waiting room. Please wait there until I activate the video call. If this does not work for some reason or you are not in a secure enough environment, we can also conduct the meeting over the telephone.

If applicable, these meetings will be billed to your insurance carrier as a telehealth session. We have confirmed that telehealth services are a covered benefit by all the insurance companies with whom we work.
