I sought to maintain continuity in my practice and accessibility for patients during the pandemic of 2020-21. Telehealth services continue to be available. All services provided by Hawthorn Counseling Group—psychotherapy, assessment, and divorce-related services such as mediation collaborative divorce coaching and parent coordination—are available via telehealth. I use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform for the delivery of telehealth services. The link to the platform is: I am a participating credentialed psychologist with PSYPACT and am authorized to practice interjurisdictional telepsychology. My APIT number is 14698. This authorization enhances the accessibility of my clinical psychology practice, enabling me to provide services to patients located in 40 states (as of June, 2024), including my home state of Illinois. For further information regarding PSYPACT and interjurisdictional telepsychology please visit https://psypact.org. Please refer to the Telehealth Consent Form for further information regarding the uses and precautions related to telehealth practice. Feel free to contact me with any further questions you may have about telehealth services and, also, please review the statement on telehealth included on the Forms & Practice Information page of this website. |
