Today we get to talk with Dr. Carly McCord about how she helped develop the TeleHealth Counseling Clinic at Texas A & M.

Today’s interview is with Martin Perry who is the founder of Nous Talk. Nous Talk is a new HIPAA compliant Audio / Video platform built specifically for online therapists. I’ve tried it out for the last month and am incredibly impressed. They are super HIPAA compliant – just not offering a BAA, but also addressing levels of HIPAA that other platforms do not – and they comply with malpractice insurers! They offer Group sessions, accepting online payments, arranging online scheduling – it’s a very robust platform and incredibly easy to use.

Marc Lehman has come up with a brilliant approach to reaching college students and making therapy available to them. Dorm Room Counseling uses online counseling to help young adults through the very stressful process of adjusting to college. Transitioning from high school to a college is incredibly difficult and more so today – when teens are struggling with social norms, societal stress and academic pressures.

Two heads are better than one, goes the old saying. And when starting a business,

especially a private practice, maybe it’s better not to go it alone – especially when

you and your partner complement each other’s skill sets. This is the story of

Jennifer Labanowski and Shelly Smith – two Marriage and Family Therapists who

have come together to launch a team private practice – serving clients online in four

different states! As they and their family prepare to move, they are adjusting their

already successful practice to go online – increasing their reach and impact and they

are inspiring professionals. They have surrounded themselves with a team of web

designers, social media experts and marketing folks who are helping them make

their dream of a successful practice come true. Why go it alone when you can have a

partner share the burden and inspire you to keep going in when the struggle can

seem too much?
