Telehealth

Levels of Care Guide

What Is Telehealth Mental Health Care?

Telehealth is a powerful, private, and accessible way to receive high-quality mental health support through secure video sessions—especially for those in rural areas or with mobility, transportation, or scheduling limitations.

Telehealth is ideal for individuals who:

Live in rural or underserved areas without access to in-person care
Need trauma-informed support but prefer the comfort of home
Require intensive outpatient treatment with greater scheduling flexibility
Feel safer or more open engaging virtually, rather than face-to-face
