Why Teletherapy

Young people are struggling to get the care they need.

60%

Psychologists not taking new patients

6000%

Demand for behavior therapists

90M

Youth are underserved

Research shows that teletherapy is as effective as traditional in-person therapy. While measured outcomes are the same, teletherapy also offers some unique advantages.

Engaging, Interactive, and Effective

Better

“Majority of patients agree that they get a higher quality of care via telehealth as compared to in-office medical visits. Patients receive more convenient and personalized care.”

– McKinsey & Company

Easier

Approximately 37% of mental health visits took place virtually (Q3, 2023). Patients increasingly seek convenient healthcare options that fit into their busy lifestyles. Telemedicine provides a way for individuals to access healthcare services without the need for travel, leading to increased patient satisfaction. The accessibility and convenience of virtual appointments fosters a supportive environment.

Affordable

The top therapist with PhD’s and Masters-level degrees can be expensive. Fortunately, Medicaid and most major insurance providers now cover Healthy Young Minds telehealth and telemedicine as part of mainstream healthcare. This includes reimbursements.

Research confirms that teletherapy works, expands access, and removes barriers to care.

What HYM Families Say About Us

“My daughter is very reluctant to participate in virtual anything, especially virtual therapy. To say I was impressed with the virtual assessment is an understatement. My daughter loved it and stayed engaged for over an hour. There were interactive games, fun activities, and so many opportunities for learning. My daughter was sad when it was over and even asked if we could do it again.”

- Catherine, HYM Parent

“My son has benefitted from teletherapy in so many ways. We have less missed visits and it helps him stay healthier, not being exposed to as many elements. I don’t have to spend travel time or cancel when we go visit family. He has made great progress and is engaged for his sessions.”

“Our son has shown so much growth working with his art therapist and has been able to use his time during the sessions to create art to help him regulate his emotions and connect better with his feelings. He is able to use these tools outside of the sessions to continue to work and grow.”
