While counselling is usually delivered face to face, there are times and circumstances where this may not be available or preferable.
At Kinship Psychology we can provide confidential therapy across a distance medium, such as telephone or telehealth. As confidentiality of your personal information is paramount, we use a secure platform** to deliver our telehealth services.
We look forward to discussing the option of telehealth counselling with you.
**Our telehealth platform is HIPAA compliant and Australian based.
A DEFINITION OF HIPAA COMPLIANCE
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for sensitive patient data protection. Companies that deal with protected health information (PHI) must have physical, network, and process security measures in place and follow them to ensure HIPAA Compliance. Covered entities (anyone providing treatment, payment, and operations in healthcare) and business associates (anyone who has access to patient information and provides support in treatment, payment, or operations) must meet HIPAA Compliance. Other entities, such as subcontractors and any other related business associates must also be in compliance.
