Online Therapy in Farmington, Utah

Why telehealth works well in Farmington

As the Davis County seat, Farmington draws people in for county business, and Station Park and Lagoon keep the area busy, especially in summer. That traffic often lands right where you might otherwise drive for an appointment. Telehealth lets you skip it entirely.

Farmington is also a commuter town, with a FrontRunner station and quick access to I-15 and Legacy Parkway. If your day starts with a train ride or a highway merge, telehealth lets you book therapy for a time you are already home and settled.

Telehealth at Roots, step by step

First, contact our front desk by phone, email or our contact page and share what kind of support you want. You can ask for a particular clinician or be matched. Next, you will receive intake forms by secure email, and they take up to 30 minutes. When it is time for your appointment, you join a HIPAA-compliant video session that lasts about 50 minutes, the same length as an in-person visit. Should the video fail, your clinician can continue by phone.

Ways Roots can help

Telehealth checklist

• ✓
  Be inside Utah for each session. If you travel out of state for work, plan sessions around those trips.
• ✓
  Use a computer, tablet or phone with a camera and microphone.
• ✓
  Check that your internet can handle a video call without frequent dropouts.
• ✓
  Choose a private, quiet place where you will not be interrupted.

Setting up a comfortable space at home

A good telehealth space does not need to be fancy. A closed door, a comfortable chair and a pair of headphones go a long way toward helping you relax and speak openly. Some people like to keep water and tissues nearby, and to silence notifications before the session starts. Our article on your first telehealth session has more ideas.
