Presentation summary

As technology continues to advance into every professional realm of public life, it's no surprise that mental health care continues to be shaped and changed by it's impact. This presentation will examine the need for increased regulation for client safety and therapist efficacy. In it, I will discuss the primary ethical concerns when establishing and running a telehealth practice, common myths about HIPAA-compliance and best practices for mental health in the digital age. In addition, I will provide a practical approach to telehalth using G-Suite.
