Busy people everywhere - executives, lawyers, entertainers,
parents of young children, students and many others – share a common challenge:
their hectic or unpredictable schedules make it difficult to reserve time for
health care appointments. When treatment
involves multiple appointments at a specific medical facility, with travel time
and waiting room delays, the challenge is compounded.
Within the field of mental health, many people simply forego the treatment they need or desire, because their busy lives preclude a commitment
to attend regular therapy or life coaching sessions. Left untreated, many psychological problems worsen
over time. When treatment is postponed or
appointments frequently missed, the client ultimately may require more intense
or longer lasting therapy.
Until recently, only in-person therapy was available. However, dramatic advances in communications
technology create opportunities for far more convenient high quality therapy through
the use of video conferencing. According
to a steadily growing body of research, video conference therapy is just as
effective as in-person therapy. As a direct result, the provision of mental health services via video conferencing has
become an increasingly routine component of mental health services delivery
throughout the U.S.
Access
to Therapy Network (ATTN) is a leader in this mental health care frontier. We use
the best in video conferencing technology for a synchronized, high quality
picture and sound so that both the client and provider connect quickly, easily,
and in a manner that feels natural. Our
mental health providers take appointments on short notice, and can meet during
daytime or nighttime hours. Obstacles to
in-person treatment such as travel schedules, weather conditions, family and
work demands, extra time to get to and from the therapist’s office, waiting
room delays, and others, are simply eliminated. Clients meet with therapists from any location
where they have a computer or handheld device, webcam, and access to high speed
internet.
ATTN opens the door to therapy in the comfort
and privacy of clients’ own surroundings and according to their scheduling
preferences.
