Description
Tele-therapy can offer greater access to clients in rural areas, college students, professionals
who travel, and many others. It offers tremendous possibilities, but it also poses some unique
challenges. While the research supports its efficacy, there are ethical, legal, and clinical
challenges that you should consider before engaging in these services. Dr. Verhaagen has been
a licensed psychologist for 28 years and has practiced tele-therapy for nearly a decade.
Whether you have been practicing tele-therapy or are only beginning to explore the
possibilities, you will learn valuable insights that will enhance your practice.
