Telehealth Services

Telehealth enables clients to remotely connect with our providers for mental health services by phone, tablet, or computer. Central Iowa Psychological Services provides user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video and communications technology. This allows clients to see and speak with a provider just as they would during an in-person consultation from their home, office, or anywhere they may be.


Telehealth services are not only convenient, but they can also be particularly useful for individual client needs. For instance, people with autism spectrum disorder may find it easier to connect with a provider through a phone call. Those with severe anxiety can receive the care they need without having to navigate a potentially triggering commute.
