TELEHEALTH

In an effort to increase access to mental health care, telehealth is the main platform for Rita to provide 1x1 individual psychotherapy to California residents. Telehealth (also known as “teletherapy”) basically means that clients will receive therapeutic services through a HIPAA-compliant platform on the web. This allows clinicians across the nation to service residents in various parts of the state the clinician received their license. In sum, in order to receive telehealth services from Rita, you would need to be a California resident and have access to a device, internet, and a camera!

sidenote: phone sessions may also be requested should clients not have access to internet.
