As Covid restrictions enter their second year, more Americans than ever are struggling with mental health issues. Coping with depression and anxiety brought on by the various challenges of the pandemic has prompted an increased demand for mental health services. In fact, as of January 2021, about 4 in 10 adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder.1
Yet, due to the same restrictions brought on by the pandemic, it has remained difficult to meet in person. The situation has created pent-up demand for mental health services that is being met, in large part, by the expansion and increased adoption of telehealth.

In this article, we will explore some of the ways adding Telehealth to your offerings can help you meet increased demand and benefit both you and your clients.
