This is a personal preference for most people. There have been multiple studies conducted over the past year showing that telehealth for therapy has been just as effective as in-person visits. Many people choose telehealth due to convenience, safety reasons, mobility from home due to a disability or lack of transportation to an office. Others has said this saves them time and money to not locate and pay for childcare or time off work. Without a telehealth option available, many people would never be able to seek services. Telehealth is not recommended for those in an acute crisis.

Many people prefer In-person appointments as they feel they can't replace the personal connection of face to face interaction. They enjoy the intimacy of in-person therapy and don't have the privacy at home. Some individuals like a "hybrid" use of both telehealth and in-person.

Both options are offered at North Valley Center for Hope. We follow CDC guidelines for in-person visits.

We are currently out of network with all insurance companies except for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna.

Some individuals choose not to use insurance for several reasons. Insurance companies place limitations on the amount of sessions you will receive and require justification on your progress and why you need care. You will be given a mental health diagnosis which remains on your permanent file. This diagnosis could constitute a pre-existing condition and prevent you from obtaining future insurance plans or at a higher cost. This information will also need to be disclosed when applying for life insurance.
