PersonCenteredTech, a renown training company for teletherapy practice and ethics, has added a bunch of emergency resources for therapists taking their practice virtual in the pandemic:

• Their front page is now a pro bono crash course with example forms! (as of Mar 17)

• They are offering a Quickstart Survey "Telemental Health Basic Starter Pack" - 8 CE Credits (NBCC + APA) - $143.20 - COMES WITH FORMS - for solo practitioners, “You only plan to do TMH work with existing, in-person clients. You will only be working with clients who are located in your state/jurisdiction of licensure during sessions. You already have an idea of how you will get reimbursed for telemental health services.”

• Their 17 CE credit (NBCC + APA) certificate course meets LMHC qualification requirements per AMCHA (16 credits); they're offering it at a discount, $319.

Doxy.me - Free HIPAA compliant platform for telehealth. Yes, they'll give you a HIPAA BAA with the free level. Pro level has additional optional features and is cheap. Extremely easy to use for both clinician and client. (Vanessa's recommendation: if you don't know what you're doing, just do this, it's free and fast to set up.) 3-16-20 1pm Update - working again, I was able to connect with decent video quality. -Brennan

VSee

Zoom - only HIPAA compliant with the $200/mo HIPAA version, apparently no waiting room feature. Awesome backward compatibility, if you have clients with super-old computers.

Spruce - Paid phone and fax platform that also includes HIPAA-compliant video platform

SimplePractice - Includes built-in video platform

MyClientsPlus & Jituzu - Includes built-in video platform
