How does TeleSesh compare to in-person therapy?

TeleSesh offers many of the same benefits as in-person therapy but with added convenience and flexibility. Studies indicate that online therapy can be more beneficial for many children, thanks to a broader range of activities and the comfort of participating from familiar surroundings. However, it’s important to note that some children may still benefit more from in-person sessions. At TeleSesh, we strive to provide a comprehensive approach that accommodates the unique needs of each child, ensuring they receive the most effective form of therapy.

What do I need to get started?

To get started with TeleSesh, you will need a reliable internet connection and a device equipped with a camera and microphone—ideally a computer or tablet for the best interactive experience. We also recommend using headphones to help your child focus and ensure privacy during their sessions. Once you have these items set up in a quiet and comfortable space, you can sign up through our website. We’ll guide you through the process, including matching your child with a therapist who fits their specific needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Currently, TeleSesh does not directly accept insurance. However, we can provide a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. This document includes all the necessary details about the therapy sessions, which may help you claim back some of the costs depending on your insurance policy. Please check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your plan.
