Quarternote Counseling offers Technology Assisted Therapy (TAT), also referred to as Telehealth. Most, but not all, insurance plans pay for services provided via telehealth. 

Quarternote therapists use the HIPAA-compliant encrypted telehealth platform Doxy.me for telehealth sessions. You may wish to review the Doxy website for more information. Unlike some other platforms, Doxy.me does not require the client to download any software to their device. The client will receive a link to the therapist's virtual Doxy office prior to the first telehealth session. The client will use that link to access the therapists' virtual office and will "check-in" by entering their name when prompted. The therapist will be alerted of the client's presence and will begin the session at the scheduled time. 

Telehealth is not appropriate for all clients. The appropriateness and safety of using telehealth for a client's services will be assessed by using a screening process, performed by the therapist, that will determine whether or not telehealth is an appropriate means of receiving services for the client.  This screening process is completed during the client's first session (called the intake session).

​If telehealth is determined to be appropriate for the client, subsequent visits may take place via telehealth. If telehealth is determined not to be a good fit for the client, the client will be required to be seen in-person. If in-person services are not feasible for the client Quarternote will provide referrals for other professionals outside of our practice. The use of telehealth may be revisited and another screening may be performed in the future. 

In order to be seen via telehealth, the client is required by the Virginia Board of Counseling to be physically located in Virginia during all telehealth sessions. The client is also required to have full privacy for their sessions, to have a device with a camera, and to have a strong internet connection.
