Telehealth Services

Telemental health services are online therapy options that provide mental health services online over a synchronous video-based platform.

Oasis Counseling and Family Therapy's telemental health service allows individuals all over North Carolina to access help over the internet, from the setting of their choosing.    

Teletherapy is not for everyone. There are many things to take into consideration before engaging in online counseling, including:

• Privacy and Confidentiality: Though Oasis Counseling and Family Therapy has taken every precaution to ensure safety, privacy, and confidentiality for all clients, including a HIPAA approved, encrypted, and secure connection; confidentiality and privacy are not always as secure with online therapy.  
• Connection Issues: The internet is an imperfect means of connecting. Connectivity issues can create frustration and disruption within the therapeutic process. 
• Communication Issues: Communicating over the internet does not lend toward the full benefit of nonverbal and implicit communication.

Clients receiving telemental health services from Oasis Counseling and Family Therapy are required to be NC residents and must have a strong internet connection (wired preferred), a private and secure area to engage in therapy that is free from distraction and background noise, a working microphone and camera, and good lighting. You will also be required to provide Oasis Counseling and Family Therapy with proof of identification and local contacts and resources, in the event of an emergency.
