The reasons to see a therapist or other mental health provider via online counseling, or teletherapy, abound. It’s easy, private, efficient, flexible, safe, and eliminates the need to travel to appointments, which is especially critical during the Covid-19 crisis.
Wellify Teen has compiled this resource guide of Marin County community and non-profit providers of mental health services, as well as private practice therapists, currently offering teletherapy on a sliding scale.
IF YOUR TEEN IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, CALL 911 NOW!
