Treatment for most mental health conditions includes psychotherapy, medications, or both. Time constraints or lack of transportation may make it challenging to get the counseling you need. At Whole Path Integrative Care, Nicole O'Neil, PMHNP, FNP, and the team offer telehealth services to help you get the care you need. They take a patient-centered approach to care and have experience and training in providing telehealth services for conditions affecting your mental and physical health.

Telehealth is a service that allows you to see your health care provider without having to go to the office.
Instead, Nicole provides counseling and mental health services through a HIPAA-approved telehealth platform. Through this platform, she gives you a secure link to your computer or mobile device. You then use the link to start your video call.
With telehealth, you get the counseling and other health care you need from a place that’s safe and convenient for you.
Nicole determines if you’re a candidate for telehealth service based on your mental health and therapy needs. She may consider you a candidate for telehealth counseling if you’re an established patient with regular therapy sessions.
For new patients interested in telehealth services, Nicole conducts a phone screening to assess mental health concerns and determine if she can provide counseling remotely. If she needs more information, Nicole has you come to the office for an initial consultation.
Nicole is a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and specializes in management of many mental health conditions and issues, including:
If telehealth works better for you and fits your treatment plan, she sets up remote counseling sessions.
Nicole also recommends telehealth counseling for patients in need of services who can’t get to the office because of a lack of transportation. Telehealth also benefits those who need to maintain social distancing because of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases.
You can expect the same compassion and attention during a telehealth appointment as you’d expect from your in-office visit at Whole Path Integrative Care. Nicole takes a patient-centered approach to care and has special training in telehealth counseling.
During your telehealth appointment, Nicole asks questions about your general health and well-being. She also asks specific questions that encourage you to talk about your thoughts and feelings.
If you have a mental health issue, she may use various forms of psychotherapy to help you with additional tools for your life/work/relational toolbox specific to your needs and objectives.
