Parents have a lot of questions when bringing their children for therapy services, and this has never been more true than with the rise of telehealth. It can already be anxiety-provoking to reach out, and combined with navigating technology and “doing therapy” in a different way than what you might be used to is scary.

Some co-workers and I put together a list of frequently asked questions that parents have about telemental health for their kids, and I thought I would share it. Most of the information here is general, so other therapists can feel free to use this when developing their own FAQ for parents. I do have many parents ask about my qualifications, so this document is specific to my practice, but you can use this as a starting point in your work.

Although I currently have a full caseload (I’m writing this as of December 9, 2020), those in South Dakota who are in need of therapy services during this time can reach out to Sioux Falls Psychological Services for an appointment.
