I prefer to provide in-person services whenever possible and feasible. When this is not possible or feasible, teletherapy/telepsychology can be an effective option.
One significant advantage of interstate practice is the ability for clients to continue working with me, for example, if they are moving out of state for college or beyond.
I have obtained the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT). This allows me to provide teletherapy services to clients located in over 30 states, including Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio. I will consider providing teletherapy to clients initially located outside of Wisconsin on a case-by-case basis.
When appropriate, I am happy to help in-person clients located in Wisconsin who are leaving the state (e.g., for college) to continue to provide services virtually. This assists with the transition to a different state and facilitates a smooth transition to local mental health care services without a gap in care. When there is lack of access to qualified local providers for a specific presenting problem, on a case by case basis, I would consider providing out-of-state telepsychology services beyond a temporary transition period and more on an ongoing basis. I provide tele-therapy for adults as well as older adolescents.
PSYPACT is an interstate compact that offers a voluntary expedited pathway for qualified psychologists to practice telepsychology and temporary in-person psychology across state boundaries. The APIT is the necessary credential for providing teletherapy in these states.
