Telehealth Informed Consent & Office Policy
At Lovejoy Therapy, all services are provided exclusively via telehealth. Telehealth allows us to offer effective, convenient, and flexible care while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and professionalism.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the delivery of therapy services when the provider and client are in separate locations, using secure video conferencing or phone sessions. You may need to download software such as Zoom or another HIPAA-compliant platform to participate in sessions. If you have any difficulty with technology, our team is happy to assist you.
Risks and Benefits of Telehealth Services
While we use secure platforms, no technology is 100% risk-free. There is always a possibility of a security breach that could affect the privacy of your protected health information.
Since sessions take place in your own home, we cannot control your level of privacy. Clients should ensure they are in a private, quiet space and use headphones when necessary.
Some therapy modalities, such as expressive therapies (play therapy, therapeutic art, sandtray therapy, music, movement, EMDR, Animal-Assisted Therapy), may look different in a virtual format. Your clinician will work with you to adapt approaches and ensure continued progress toward your therapeutic goals.
Clients are not required to purchase any supplies for telehealth sessions. However, your therapist may suggest using materials you already have at home to enhance therapeutic engagement.
Most insurance companies cover telehealth services, but clients are responsible for verifying their benefits. If insurance does not cover a session, the client will be responsible for the fee.
