Step 1

Logged in as a Practice Owner or Manager, turn on the Teletherapy under the "Roles" section of "My Profile" for any provider in your practice.

Step 2

When scheduling a client appointment, select “Telehealth Session.” (You can select this at a later time if this wasn't anticipated, e.g. a snow day that precludes travel.)

Step 3

15 minutes before the appointment time, both therapist and client will be prompted to launch the teletherapy session from their respective Dashboards.

Step 4

Begin the telehealth session. If you've never used Zoom before, you'll be asked to download the Zoom software. This is mandatory for you, and optional for your client. Downloading the software enables additional features, like screen sharing to review "homework."

4-2

It is likely that either the therapist or the client will connect first. The first person to join the session will enter a "waiting room" and see one of these screens:
