Rapid advancements in communications technology have brought about dramatic changes in the delivery of health care, including the availability of therapy and counseling via video conferencing.  People for whom distance, transportation, cost, or scheduling preclude in-person therapy can now receive the care they need remotely.

Access to Therapy Network uses state-of-the-art technology and the highest level of online security to provide clients with confidential, private and secured care.  Our software avoids the lags, choppiness and poor quality of Internet video conferencing.  Clients are able receive treatment from anywhere in the world, at any time of day or night, often at the same or less cost than is associated with in-person therapy, and without compromising the quality of treatment.

A Brief History:

Within the past decade, video conferencing software advanced steadily and came to facilitate easy and natural interactions between two or more participants in separate locations.  As a result, video conferencing evolved into mainstream use in business and university environments.  Remote physician consultations using video conferencing also became more common.  The effectiveness, ease and regularity in which video conferencing occurs in these settings has earned it widespread acceptance and has led to its embrace in other areas, such as mental health care services.

Nomenclature:

No single term has yet been adopted by the mental health care community to refer to video conferencing therapy.  De facto nomenclature, such as “telephsychology”, “telepsychiatry”, or “online therapy”, suggest therapy either by telephone or by electronic correspondence.  However, video conferencing therapy involves a real-time, interactive auditory and face-to-face visual connection.  “Televideo therapy” is the latest terminology in active use, appropriately capturing both the auditory and visual components of this venue for treatment.
