Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I have been doing Telehealth since 2020. I love being able to see clients where they feel most comfortable and to increase access to these services. I am able to provide therapy, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment via an online platform. This traditionally utilizes video and audio components, though some clients prefer to not utilize the video portion. The platform is HIPAA compliant. I have done both in-person and online therapy, not modalities have been shown to be equally effective. I will do anything possible to make the experience as comfortable and smooth as possible.
