ICCS is offers assessment and therapy services remotely via telehealth to assist clients in accessing services even when distance and/or transportation may be barriers to traditional “in office” therapy. Offering telehealth services is part of our commitment to make mental health treatment accessible to as many people as possible.

What is telehealth? Telehealth is the use of technology to provide real-time healthcare to clients from a distance. We use live video to provide assessment and therapy services to our clients in their homes, offices, and/or while traveling within the state of California. Clients do not have to come to our office for therapy appointments and instead can see their provider via live videoconference.

• Privacy: We use a technology platform that is both secure (encrypted) and HIPPA compliant. You do not have to create an online account with identifying information. We are able to identify our clients user name but your personal information remains anonymous within the technology platform.
• Equipment needed: A webcam, microphone, and internet access. The technology works with either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers, as well as an app for iPhones (Android users can use the Chrome browser). There is no downloading of apps required.
• Effectiveness of telehealth: Multiple research studies have shown that therapy via telehealth is just as effective as face-to-face intervention.
• User friendly: This technology is very user friendly and does not require skills outside of basic computer knowledge to facilitate. We are happy to assist you with navigating the process
