Youth For Tomorrow is Now Offering Online Counseling Appointments.

You can meet with one of our therapists on your computer or smart phone. We know the community is experiencing many hardships. Telehealth is currently a covered service by most private insurance and Medicaid. Financial assistance is available.

How it Works

With Telehealth you can meet with your therapist online when an appointment has been scheduled. You can use your PC, iPhone®, iPad®, or Android device to use this service. When you schedule your appointment, an email will be sent to your email address to confirm the appointment, and with instructions on how to join the teleconference.

Note: The email can take up to thirty minutes to be sent. If you do not see the email after thirty minutes, check your spam folder.

We are open for new patients ages 5 to adult.

Please Call 703-659-9900 or Email Us for More Information or to Schedule an Appointment for Telehealth.
