How does Teletherapy Work?

Teletherapy is the virtual interaction between a therapist and student. Teletherapy sessions are very similar to traditional therapy with the exception of a real-time video appointment. Therapy sessions help provide access to underserved rural areas that may not normally have access to such services. Unlimited Teletherapy empowers your child to unlock their potential and achieve their goals.
