Gorham Psychotherapy
Telehealth
Online therapy (also known as video counseling, e-therapy, or telehealth) works much the same as traditional, in-office, except the sessions are conducted via an easy-to-use, secure video chat. That means, rather than driving to an office for scheduled sessions, you’ll log in to our HIPAA compliant video platform and you’ll meet with your therapist at your scheduled appointment time on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
