Overview

Telehealth may be available to adults who are physically located in California and when remote care is clinically appropriate. Privacy, safety, technology, location, and clinical needs are discussed individually. If you are seeking an ADHD or autism assessment, contact the practice to discuss which components may be remote and whether an in-person visit is recommended.

Key Takeaways

  • Telehealth may be considered for adults physically located in California when remote care is clinically appropriate.
  • Location, privacy, safety, technology, and a backup plan are discussed individually; no platform removes every privacy or technology risk.
  • Remote sessions are not an emergency service and may not be suitable for every concern or every part of an assessment.

Is Telehealth a Good Fit?

For some clients, video sessions can reduce commuting time, make it easier to attend from a private location, or support continuity when travel within California makes an office visit impractical. For others, an in-person setting may feel more comfortable or may be clinically recommended.

Telehealth suitability is considered individually. A conversation about your concerns, privacy, safety, technology, physical location at the time of service, and preferences can help determine whether remote care may be appropriate.

Privacy, Location, and a Backup Plan

A useful telehealth setup begins with a private location, a reliable internet connection, and a way to reduce interruptions when possible. Before services begin, the practice can discuss the technology used, what information should not be sent by ordinary email, and what to do if a connection is interrupted. No video platform can eliminate every technology or privacy risk, so these practical details are part of deciding whether remote care is a reasonable option.

Your physical location matters at the time of a session. Telehealth may be available only when you are physically located in California and when remote care is clinically appropriate. If you expect to travel, move, or take a session from a different location, discuss that in advance rather than assuming the appointment can proceed remotely.

Telehealth is not an emergency service. If an immediate safety concern arises, call 911, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency department. Routine email, web forms, and voicemail are not monitored continuously and should not be used for urgent support.

Deciding Whether Telehealth Is the Right Format

Telehealth can be convenient, but convenience is not the only consideration. Privacy at home, safety, the need for in-person observation or assessment components, comfort with technology, and the kind of support you are seeking can all influence whether remote sessions make sense. In some situations, an in-person appointment or another resource may be preferable.

A brief, non-urgent consultation can clarify those practical questions. It can also help you understand which elements of a service may be offered remotely and which may require an in-person visit. The conversation is informational; it does not establish care, replace an assessment, or guarantee that telehealth will be available.
