According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the
demand for mental health services has greatly increased due to the
pandemic, yet many people across the country are still unable to
get access to reliable mental health services, especially those in
less advantaged communities. This need is expected to worsen over
the holiday season and beyond. NAMI reports 64 percent of people
with an existing mental illness say that the holidays make their
condition worse. This is where virtual visits with board-certified,
licensed therapists and psychologists can play a huge role.
“I’ve been very open about my mental health journey,” said
Ashley Tisdale, actress and singer. “For me, talking about what I’m
going through is one way I can deal with how I’m feeling and make
stress or anxiety more manageable, which is why I’m excited to be
partnering with Amwell. For those who haven’t yet found the right
therapist or may be having a hard time building in-office therapy
into their schedules, Amwell’s online therapy visits could be a
game-changer. It’s amazing the difference even a single visit can
have for people who need care, so I’m happy to help spread the
word.”
With the Amwell website or mobile app, users can see a licensed
mental health professional for their behavioral health needs, from
the privacy and comfort of home. The online therapy services
offered on Amwell’s platform are available nationwide and include a
vast network of psychologists, social workers, and other providers
in other mental health disciplines to ensure each patient can
receive care from a mental health professional who fits their
unique needs. Each therapist is licensed to practice in their state
and trained in prevention and treatment techniques via
telehealth.
“We are in the midst of a behavioral and mental health crisis
with anxiety, isolation and emotional fatigue deepening and
spanning all ages, races and socioeconomic levels,” said Dr.
Lindsay Henderson, Psychologist and Director of Psychological
Services at Amwell. “The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated our
mental health epidemic and coupled with the winter months, which
have a tendency to bring about common issues ranging from
loneliness to seasonal affective disorder (SAD), it’s more
important than ever that we prioritize our mental health. Amwell’s
virtual therapy services are a great option for patients looking to
speak to a provider quickly, conveniently and at a low cost.”
