We are seeing signs that 2017 will be the year when rank-and-file providers in mental health really being adopting telehealth and telehealth related technologies. Some of the early trepidation with mental health providers has been around how effective these platforms are when compared with in-person visits. There is now an emerging body of literature that suggests that video presence sessions are comparable to in-person visits. While each has its own pros and cons, we believe that therapists will increasingly come to see telehealth as one more useful tool in the armamentarium.
