Telepsychology 

As a result of most patients' preference following the pandemic when remote therapy became an option, I am only
providing REMOTE THERAPY VIA VIDEO CONFERENCING  (Google Workspace version of GOOGLE MEET which is a HIPAA compliant online platform to provide telehealth services -- see Google Workspace HIPAA for more information and security/privacy details).

I am registered to provide telepsychology to individuals who are located in New York  (License #10084) and Florida (Telehealth provider #TPPY1232).

I have provided remote psychotherapy since March 2020 and find that for the most part it does not differ much from in person sessions. It is worth noting that there is a substantial amount of research backing up the efficacy of using CBT via remote methods (phone, internet).   

One of the major advantages of telepsychology is that clients can choose among the best trained therapists to assist with their problems without geographic limitations. For example, if someone wanted to work with me in the past it was necessary for him or her to be within commuting distance of my office in Manhattan.  That is no longer necessary and thus clients can choose a provider based upon competence rather than geographical location. I have all the forms I use to facilitate therapy online and thus can easily provide what is necessary -- just like I would do in session.
