Dear Friends,
TI is gifted with a range of great mental health therapists - those currently seeing patients (at low fees) as part of our advanced training track, those who have graduated from the program, and those that now teach, supervise and/or serve as directors in various capacities at the agency.
To this end, we are starting a new series - Dear Therapist? - to mine the wisdom and experience of these dedicated and talented professionals on trending mental health topics.
To start, we asked Delverlon Hall, Jason Kurtz, and Alan Steinberg to share thoughts on the emergence of Telehealth (virtual, digital) therapy during the pandemic, how this treatment compares and contrast to in-person care, and what they see in the future regarding these methodologies.

We are living in unprecedented times. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken hundreds of thousands of lives, devastated the economy, and fundamentally changed how we live. As the pandemic continues on for the foreseeable future, another major impact is being made on our mental health and interpersonal relationships. In the world of mental health treatment, couples therapy is particularly linked to these impacts, as its focus is on the very relationships that have been so disrupted. Dr. Delverlon Hall, the Director of the Training Institute for Mental Health’s Couples’ Program, gave me her thoughts on how the pandemic has altered couples’ therapy, our relationships, and our mental health, and how we can turn this tumultuous moment into positive change.
