Who is This Starter Pack For?

This program may be appropriate if:

  • You are in solo practice.
  • You only plan to do TMH work with existing, in-person clients.
  • You will only be working with clients who are located in your state/jurisdiction of licensure during sessions.
  • You already have an idea of how you will get reimbursed for telemental health services.
M

This program may not be sufficiently thorough if:

  • You own/operate a group practice. See our group TMH program here.
  • You wish to use the program as evidence of telemental health training that covers the full standard of care.
  • You wish to “hang a shingle” as an online therapist and see clients entirely online.
  • You will work online with Medicare clients or clients housed in clinics, care homes, or other “originating sites” during sessions.
  • You need to learn how to make your practice HIPAA Security compliant.
  • You want live support from PCT through Office Hours. (You can purchase access to our live Office Hours webinars a la carte, however.)

If this program appears to be insufficient for your needs, see our full Telemental Health Certificate Program.
