Privacy During Sessions
As in face-to-face therapy, it is very important for you to attend and be on time for your therapy sessions. Your surroundings need to be Quiet and Private for your online session. Whether at home, in the office or elsewhere, please find a private room with a door you can close and where no one will interrupt you. To get the most out of your sessions you need to be able to fully concentrate and participate, which means no distractions or interruptions.
The telemedicine web platform we meet on is confidential, private and HIPPA compliant as required by NYS and NJ law. Skype and facetime does not yet meet the NYS law confidentially requirements. Our virtual office’s web address will be on your appointment confirmation.
