    CONSENT FOR TELEHEALTH PSYCHOTHERAPY

     

    Ann Drouilhet, LICSW, has offered to provide psychotherapy via phone or telehealth consultation.

     

    I authorize Ann Drouilhet, LICSW, to allow us to meet via smartphone or a secure HIPAA compliant
    online video conference service platform.

     

    She has explained to me how the video conferencing technology that will be used will not be the same
    as a direct client/psychotherapist session due to the fact that we will not be in the same physical
    space.

     

    I understand that a telehealth consultation has potential benefits including easier access to care,
    continuity of care, and the convenience of meeting from a location of my choosing.

     

    I understand there are potential risks to this technology, including interruptions, unauthorized access,
    and technical difficulties, which cannot be predicted. I understand that my health care provider or I
    can discontinue the telehealth consult/session if it is felt that the videoconferencing connections are
    not adequate for the situation.

     

    I understand that the telemedicine session will not be audio or video recorded at any time, and that
    we will both disable computer and device-generated recording to the best of our abilities.

     

    I understand that it is important to connect from a quiet room where my privacy is guaranteed.

     

    My consent to participate in this telemedicine service shall remain in effect until I revoke my consent
    in writing.

     

    I have had the opportunity to ask questions in regard to this procedure.

     

    I confirm that I have read and fully understand the above.
