Telehealth Services
We are excited to offer telehealth services to our clients, providing the same high-quality psychological care you’ve come to expect from us, but now with the added convenience and safety of remote access.
Benefits
Convenience and Accessibility
The benefits of telehealth are plentiful, making it an appealing choice for many. Firstly, it offers convenience, allowing patients to receive care from the comfort of their own homes without the need to travel. This is especially advantageous for those living in remote areas or with limited mobility, as telehealth ensures accessibility to medical services that might otherwise be challenging to obtain. Additionally, telehealth provides flexibility, with appointments often being scheduled outside of traditional office hours, accommodating various schedules and making healthcare more accessible to all.

PSYPACT and Interjurisdictional Practice
Davenport Psychology is proud to participate in the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), an interstate agreement designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology and temporary in-person, face-to-face practice of psychology across state boundaries2. This means that we can provide telehealth services to clients residing in any of the states participating in PSYPACT3.
Recent Research
- A report by the American Psychological Association (APA) titled “Telehealth proves its worth” states that even after the pandemic ends, telehealth appears poised to stay. According to APA’s 2021 COVID-19 Practitioner Survey of U.S. psychologists, a whopping 96% of psychologists who responded said that telehealth is effective therapeutically, and 97% said that it should remain post-pandemic1. The number of clinicians using telehealth with at least some patients also continues to grow, from 33% in 2020 to 50% in 20211. More clinicians practicing telehealth will lead to increased access to much-needed care1.
- Another article by the APA titled “Telehealth is here to stay. Psychologists should equip themselves to offer it” suggests that psychologists who offer both in-person and virtual services are poised to meet increased demand for flexible, accessible mental health care2. In 2020, psychologists responded to the onset of the Covid -19 pandemic by making a nearly universal pivot to telehealth2. This rapid and widespread adoption was largely enabled by the federal government’s declaration of a public health emergency (PHE), which prompted several significant policy changes that made telehealth more feasible for both patients and providers2.
- A study titled “How well is telepsychology working?” found that telepsychology delivered by video and phone is effective for depression, anxiety and adjustment disorder3.
- A foundational study titled “New Study: The Advantages & Benefits of Telehealth” offers the most extensive examination of psychotherapy treatment disruptions in the United States. It compares the nine months preceding and following the onset of COVID-19 and identifies some of the most influential benefits of telehealth4.
