Reply to comment by k1lk1 in NYC promises telehealth for all high school students struggling with mental health by greenhousecrtv

So then tell me, someone who has a weekly Zoom call with a therapist, what about it is unhelpful.

I have personal experience with this setup, you have a belief surrounding this setup. So prove me, a benefactor, wrong with what I said……..

What is in person care giving that online visitation isn’t.

The notion isn't that it's "unhelpful", but less helpful than seeing a therapist in-person. It's kind of like, we want the kids to eat food in school, and serving up a plate of fish sticks isn't unhelpful but it's not as good for them as a balanced salad or something.

This is absurd. Telehealth therapy is real and balanced therapy, the benefits don’t go away or become diminished just because it’s done on a screen.

So I’ll ask again, what am I missing IN PERSON that I’m not getting over an internet call.

I’m asking you to back up your claims with examples.
