Scholar Specialized Treatment Services also offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) utilizing Digital Therapy to include live chat and secure messaging. With this service, you will meet with your therapist in a secure online therapy room utilizing our secure portal at a time and location that is suitable for you. Your appointments are either 30, 45 or 60 minutes in duration or you may opt to obtain a subscription plan which includes unlimited messaging, scheduled live chat sessions or a combination of these two services. This service is offered 24/7/365 and is perfect for anyone who would benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on a one-on-one basis and those who need more flexible scheduling, but do not wish to engage in face-to-face sessions. Digital Therapy is confidential and discreet. For a blended approach to treatment, it also helps you gain actionable insights about your health between therapy sessions or if you are unable to come into the office for an extended amount of time due to work, vacation, or other obligations. Digital therapy technologies can assist you and your provider to better measure, monitor and manage your mental health while promoting resiliency.
