Teletherapy

With the advent of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 precautions, New Leaf has moved to only providing virtual services.  We understand that there can be a greater need for mental health services during this time and our therapists are able to continue to schedule appointments with existing clients.  We are continuing to take new clients, but will be limiting those sessions to teletherapy sessions for the short-term until conditions have changed.

What Does Insurance Cover?

We are thankful that many of the insurance companies have made changes to their coverage of teletherapy appointments as to help individuals continue to use their insurance benefits and save on cost.  If you are using private insurance, teletherapy sessions will be temporarily covered for most insurance plans.  If you have any questions about scheduling or what is covered by your insurance, please feel free to call us at (919) 781-8370 or email us at scheduling@nlbh.org.

What are My Options?

We provide secure, confidential services through teletherapy. This would require individuals to have a secure internet connection and equipment (computer, laptop or mobile device) equipped with a webcam. Although most services are well adapted to teletherapy, in person sessions may be a better option for some forms of therapy. Our staff will be ready to answer any questions and help provide any information to help you get the best care for your needs. Please give us a call at (919) 781-8370 or email us at scheduling@nlbh.org.

Internet Access or Mobile Device Data

Many local internet companies and cellular phone services providers are allowing for free access and waiving data overage charges.  Please look up your internet or cellular plan to see if you are able to benefit from some of these allowances to help out during this unusual time.
