Commonwealth Psychology Associates® has actually been giving TeleHealth Online Virtual Visits for our behavioral health services ever since 2018. This enables individuals in Allston and all over Massachusetts to get excellent support from the very same highly trained accredited professional staff who treat our local in-office clients.
Online Virtual Visits are a wonderful choice for those that can not come in to our offices because of location, transportation, disabilities, work and childcare timetables, etc. Please note that you must be physically located in Massachusetts during your appointment to satisfy licensing and insurance requirements.
There are three major requirements for Online Virtual Visits. Our Allston TelePsych clients will require:
– A desktop or laptop computer with a web cam and microphone (We do not advise using a tablet or phone – they seem to trigger hiccups).
– A high quality internet connection.
– A private area that is quiet where you will not be disturbed.
The majority of insurance providers cover TeleHealth Online Virtual Visits. Our team will certainly verify your benefits.
Since 2004, CPA (Commonwealth Psychology Associates®) has been involved in helping Allston clients build happy and healthful lives. Our health center treats a wide range of behavioral health difficulties and we try to offer every patient a tailored treatment within a caring environment.
Our team of psychologists will be able to assess if psychiatric medication is the right thing for you and help handle your medication itinerary so that you will be getting the appropriate medication and doses for your mental health condition.
Our dedicated psychiatry team knows that women that regularly take psychiatric medications might require specialized evaluations both during and after pregnancy. In addition we deal with post-partum depression to help women with the transition to being a mother. We are always here to help you in caring, warm environment.
At CPA, we diagnose or dismiss attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with the help of neuropsychological tests (non-intrusive) which measure concentration levels and additional mental capabilities. ADHD assessment is offered to clients sixteen and older and culminates in a plan for treatment and with official recommendations designed to help clients perform their best at school and at work.
Neuropsychological tests can be an accurate tool for identifying (or maybe ruling out) ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and learning dysfunctions in teens. Adolescents who are going through emotional, social, behavioral, and/or educational issues could benefit from evaluation and the consequent treatment plans and advice for improved functioning at home, at school, and in social environments.
Our reliable neuropsychological evaluations, available at our Allston area clinic, for young adults aged sixteen or over, address problems in connection with executive functioning, academic struggles, social skills, concussions, emotion regulation, attention, Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD testing and treatment solutions.
We do tests on both young people and adults for autism spectrum disorders using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd Edition (ADOS-2) to confirm pertinent cognitive characteristics such as social interaction and language skills.
Our psychological well being can have a huge impact on our overall health and may even intensify pre-existing medical issues. That is where behavioral medicine becomes a factor. Here at CPA, our certified health psychologists employ numerous strategies and techniques to help clients improve their general health and feel their best.
Without a proper night’s sleep, we are likely to have problems focusing, with the result that our daily lives may suffer. If you’ve been having sleeping problems, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia might be of help. It is a way of altering your feelings and behaviors regarding sleep to help reduce anxiety and worry, which calms your body and mind for a deeper, more rewarding night’s sleep.
Couples therapy is a safe environment where partners can learn to better deal with conflict, develop better communication skills and sort out challenges and life transitions in an efficient way.
