Telehealth Psychiatry & Counseling

Telehealth & Teletherapy Services
For Patients in North Dakota & Minnesota

Have you been struggling with anxiety, depression, or other types of mental health problems? If so, you're not alone. In fact, since the onset of COVID-19, the number of people in America with mental health conditions is now three or more times greater than before the pandemic. With many people processing how their lives have altered, teletherapy has become an effective treatment solution. Here's what you need to know about the telehealth services offered at Saint Sophie's Psychiatric Center.

The Advantages of Using Teletherapy Services

Saves You Time

As a client, telehealth appointments save you both time and gasoline since you do not need to travel to and from an office.

Extends Access for Care

Another great benefit of telehealth is that you can have an appointment with a provider you prefer, even if they are not located locally. Saint Sophie's, for instance, is licensed to treat patients in all of North Dakota and Minnesota, although our physical location is in Fargo, ND.

Maintains a Comfortable Familiar Environment

Telehealth allows counselors and psychiatrists to diagnose and treat patients virtually in the comfort of their own homes. This benefit is precious if you are medically homebound or do not have transportation. In most cases, clients are more comfortable talking with their counselor or psychiatrist in their home than in an office.

Monitors in Real-Time

When therapy occurs in real-time, it's much more effective. For example, your therapist can understand your body language and expressions.

Protects Privacy

All telemedicine/teletherapy platforms must follow privacy rules and be HIPAA compliant.

What Do You Need for A Telehealth Session?

All you need is a smartphone, computer, or tablet with a strong internet connection. Be sure to choose a quiet area so that there are no interruptions. It's also a good idea to have a pen and notepad handy to jot down information.
