Teletherapy
Teletherapy, therapy anytime and anywhere!
Teletherapy, or telemedicine, are terms used to describe therapy sessions that take place via video-conferencing rather than in-person. Galvin Growth Group offers the choice of teletherapy through HIPAA-compliant, secure video sessions. It is a great option for those who are unable to come into our office, or for those who need some flexibility due to limitations with time or location. For some, online therapy can also be a more comfortable experience, allowing clients to meaningfully connect with their therapists in a familiar setting, perhaps without ever leaving the comfort of their home!
Others may like to schedule a session during the workday, taking a break for some self-care. Teletherapy does not need to be used exclusively, and may be used in conjunction with in-person therapy as well. This can be helpful for times when clients are feeling sick, enjoying time up north, or attending in-state college. If you are traveling out of state, your G3 therapist may also be able to provide you with services dependent on state and licensing requirements and some of our therapists are licensed to provide teletherapy in several states throughout the U.S.
How does it work?
Your privacy is always assured. Video calls are held via a HIPAA-compliant and secure video platform that is easy to access and use. These video sessions can be held on any type of device including computers, phones, and tablets. All teletherapy sessions are scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time between you and your therapist and done in a location that maintains your confidentiality.

Is it as effective as in-person therapy?
Typically, yes! Research shows that teletherapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for a variety of disorders and age groups, including adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. However, in-person therapy is typically recommended for our youngest clients. Our Intake Specialist can help you decide whether teletherapy would be a good option for you or your child.
