Telehealth Services Agoura Hills

During COVID-19, in order to protect your safety as well as our staff’s we are providing telehealth services near Agoura Hills until it’s safe to proceed with in-person meetings. Clients can talk with our clinicians via video conferencing from their homes or a private space. Telemedicine is available for psychotherapy and psychiatry (medication management). Our skilled team of providers is dedicated to providing compassionate and efficient mental health care for patients during this challenging time. We will work with you to establish a customized treatment plan. Our office staff are working remotely as well and are always available to assist you.

While many of our patients have experience using different types of platforms for telecommunication, we understand that for others there may be some time to become accustomed. In our experience, almost everyone has been able to find a way to feel comfortable and benefit from our services provided online. While some people rather have their sessions over the phone, most patients and providers find that having a video connection is more advantageous in the therapeutic process. Also, insurance companies have policies that cover telepsychiatry and teletherapy conducted using video, but will not offer reimbursement for a phone appointment.

We’ve also created a page with many helpful coping resources that we’ll be updating over time. Please click the button below to access it.

    For couples, marital issues, parenting challenges, and financial difficulties can increase conflict. It is harder to maintain privacy while having everyone at home all the time. Issues with drug abuse and domestic violence can become worse by not having the usual supports and distractions.
