Teletherapy in Illinois for You or A Love One
Fields For Growth Teletherapy engages in Teletherapy as requested by client(s) living in Illinois. Our team received certification for Teletherapy in March 2020, as our mental health services were met with in-person restrictions due to the pandemic.
The practice of teletherapy sessions has continued to be a wonderful new medium/modality for clients. The purpose of Teletherapy is to provide a safe space for a client(s) to continue or begin mental health treatments when in-person therapy is difficult or not an option.
Understanding the Benefits of Teletherapy
- Comfort of settings
- Confidentiality
- Consistency of sessions
- Time saved from traveling
- Treatments for individuals, couples, families, and groups
Clients complete a teletherapy consent form that contains their HIIPPA rights and information regarding what to do in a crisis. They also need to provide a confidential, free-from-distractions personal setting, and a computer is required.
Can Teletherapy Be Conducted Using Animal-Assisted Therapy?
Animal-assisted therapy can be utilized with teletherapy. The process is the same, as the clients are on virtual ZOOM, the clinicians are as well and include the farm animals. Our animals are well acquainted with their roles virtually. This is a great way to also include clients’ animals as well.
