Services

Teletherapy is one more way Dr. Kerr can provide her established clients with affordable, convenient and anonymous/stigma-free mental health services. With Skype for business, established clients can send Dr. Kerr text messages, audio messages, as well as picture and video messages in a private, text-based chat room. Live-video sessions and audio-only sessions are also available. Teletherapy services through Skype business are currently available for individuals or couples previously established with Dr. Kerr.

How is my privacy protected? Is it confidential?

All data and communication is private and confidential with encrypted servers and software using Skype’s latest technology. With this option, you can use your Skype app 24 hours a day/7 days a week from your iPhone, iPad or Android device — or from any computer.

Why would I want to use teletherapy services?

While it is not meant to replace in-office therapy, and as such is not yet available to clients who have not been established with an initial intake diagnostic evaluation (office visit only), clients find that supplementing their regular office/concierge therapy visits with teletherapy services through Skype business is an excellent way to get affordable, 24-hour access to a level of care that really strengthens the benefits of treatment on their health and happiness in between session(s). In addition, as teletherapy allows Dr. Kerr to do either individual or couples therapy, it is useful for joint working couples who can both log in over a lunch hour from work even when in different locations.
