What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy is mental health therapy provided over the phone or online through video calls.

With the use of technology, teletherapy sessions can be conducted from anywhere. Teletherapy provides us with the ability to counsel clients not only local to Western New York, but also clients throughout New York State.
