When did you first hear about telehealth? How did you feel about it then? How do you feel about it now?
Sheridan: I first heard about telehealth during the start of the COVID pandemic. My area of work at the time required me to be fully in person so my exposure was very limited. Upon my transition to mental health counseling, I dove right into the telehealth world. Initially, I was concerned about not being able to connect with clients in the ways needed. As time went on, I soon realized that telehealth allowed access to care that may have otherwise been unavailable. It has been a wonderful tool to integrate in the medical and mental health care world.
What motivates you to continue offering telehealth services?
Sheridan: Providing services to individuals across the state and for individuals who may struggle with transportation or mobility are great motivators.
