Frequently Asked Questions

Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth delivers the same clinical outcomes and strong therapeutic connection as traditional in-person sessions, with the added benefit of zero travel time.

What if I've never done online therapy before?

That is completely normal! The initial 15-minute consultation gives us a chance to test the video connection, walk through the setup together, and answer any technical or logistical questions you have before your first full session.

Do you accept insurance for telehealth?

Hermes Counseling operates on a private-pay model. Upon request, superbills can be provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider.
