Telehealth (Virtual Visit)

Cartoon of telehealth visitBehavioral Health Partners (BHP) offers a convenient way to access mental health services using telehealth which is a virtual visit. This is an innovative and efficient way to attend appointments with one of our providers from the comfort of your home, office, or any other private location. It's as easy as clicking a link on your computer screen or device!

During your initial BHP assessment, your therapist will speak with you about telehealth (virtual visit) to determine whether it is a good fit for you. Your therapist will review the telehealth (virtual health) consent form with you, and answer any questions you may have.

We currently use a HIPAA compliant Zoom environment for telehealth sessions. This easy to use technology is available using a computer and also offers feature-rich mobile apps for iOS and Android. 

Internet access and a webcam/microphone-supported device (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.) are required to participate.

Before Your First Virtual Visit Appointment

You must sign our telehealth (virtual visit) consent form to take advantage of this service.
