Teletherapy – Now More Important Than Ever
Health worries, financial problems, isolation, and the disruption of daily routines – in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, these significant issues are now disrupting the lives of millions as we each do our best to cope with the new realities facing us. The impact of these new stresses range from being manageable for some, to severely disruptive for others. For those already battling anxiety and depressive illness, these new complications make an already bad situation much worse.
At the same time, shelter-in-place orders, designed to stop the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in the suspension of traditional face-to-face therapies. To overcome this obstacle, Cashman Center offers teletherapy as a safe, easy, and effective delivery of mental health services in these difficult times.
What Is Teletherapy?
While teletherapy is not the same as a face to face session with a therapist, it can be as effective and feels just as safe. Many clients enjoy the convenience of being able to see a therapist virtually, in the comfort of their own home.
The primary application that Cashman Center uses for their teletherapy sessions is Doxy.me, a Web-based HIPAA, GDPR, & PHIPA -compliant telemedicine system, designed specifically for use by healthcare professionals.
The appointment process is safe, simple, and straightforward:
Scheduling an appointment
Simply schedule an appointment by calling Cashman Center at 952-224-8990. During this call, you’ll receive a special link to log into when it is time of the appointment…no download required!
Attending your Session
At the time of the appointment, visit the special link received during scheduling. The therapist will start the video session automatically when they are ready. In Doxy.me, there is even a box that pops up for “checking in.”
Payment
Payment of a bill or copay can be made by calling the Cashman Center billing office, or online at the Cashman Center website. Additionally, payments can be made during the therapist session.
