Tele-Mental Health Pre-Session Checklist
Below is a list of issues to consider before starting your video session today:
- If it is your first session, your counselor will ask you to identify yourself with a PHOTO ID and where you are located.
- Do a bit of room preparation before getting started. Do you have tissues nearby? Have your phones been unplugged/ringers turned off? If you are using an app to do online EMDR, do you have your phone set to Do Not Disturb in your settings? If you live with other people, is there a sign that indicates the room is occupied on the door? Do you have a clock visible to keep track of your time?
- Conduct a quick audio and visual assessment and make adjustments as necessary (e.g., are your window blinds causing a glare? Is there something interfering with the microphone? Is someone vacuuming in the next room?) It is helpful to know where your camera is placed on your device and place it so your eyes are right across from it.
- Please let your counselor know if anyone is in the room with you, or unexpectedly comes in. If you are in an unsafe situation and someone has entered the room, please choose a word which will signal this to your counselor IMMEDIATELY, even if it is out of context.
- Are you expecting any interruptions to your session? Please attempt to remove any disruptions to the flow of the session and if impossible, let your counselor know if you expect guests, delivery people, repair people, etc. PLEASE TURN YOUR CELLPHONE COMPLETELY OFF FOR THE HOUR OF YOUR APPOINTMENT.
- If relevant, where are your children and is there provision for their care while you are in session?
- Do your clothes reflect that you are ready to have a professional encounter? Please only choose clothes that you would wear if you were attending a session in person.
- ARE YOU STATIONARY AND COMFORTABLE? It is very distracting and sometimes disorienting to have a session while you are moving. Please choose a comfortable space and stay put during session if at all possible.
- Don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
- If you are having technical issues, contact support@doxy.me
Please know that your session WILL NEVER be recorded by your counselor nor Doxy.me, and you must never record your session unless you have received permission to do so.
Videoconferencing affords you all the same levels of confidentiality and professionalism that you would experience with in-person work. You will also experience the same level of clinical excellence you have come to expect from PPInc., whether you choose in-person or telehealth treatment.
