Video Therapy or Telepsychology
Telepsychology includes psychological services provided via secure internet technology. Such services are offered as an alternative to face-to-face sessions, as a matter of convenience, preference, or in situations where in-person sessions are difficult to arrange. Telepsychology has the exact same intention or purpose as conventional psychotherapy, and in our experience, works incredibly well for most people. In essence, it involves arranging an appointment time between the client and the service provider (psychologist) when both parties can interface from a computer, smartphone, or iPad, using a webcam and an internet connection.
We have chosen to use SecureVideo.com for our current telepsychology platform. Thankfully, it offers one of the most secure options at the present time, including a 256-bit AES-encrypted signalling and media stream. It therefore integrates the reliable and widely used Zoom videoconferencing engine, with some important security features. Please contact us for more information about the telepsychology services we offer.
In-Person Sessions
The COVID-19 situation has been hard on the Canadian economy and small businesses. As a result, we have moved away from providing only in-person appointments, which will alleviate the costs associated with a larger full-time commercial office space. We currently offer in-person therapy sessions on a somewhat limited basis - about half of all bookings are in-person. Priority will be given to higher need clients with a strong preference for in-person sessions and other relevant factors.
Lastly, when attending an in-person therapy session, we would ask you to do the following:
- Arrive to appointments at your scheduled session time.
- Bookings and payments should be done online.
Please contact us for more information. However, please note that telephone voice messages are infrequently checked. Email is the best way to communicate: info@cornerstoneclinic.ca.
