Teletherapy for Reproductive & Perinatal Mental Health in California

Glitter Enthusiast Signature in Gold

Accessible, Convenient Online Therapy for Emotional Wellbeing and Life Transitions

Therapy From the Comfort of Your Home, Office, or Anywhere in California

Life’s emotional challenges don’t wait for an appointment. Whether you’re navigating fertility stress, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, reproductive trauma, or ongoing life transitions, you deserve support that fits into your life and your schedule.

At Reproductive Mental Health & Wellness, we offer teletherapy (online therapy) for California residents, delivered by licensed clinicians trained in trauma-informed, reproductive-aware, and evidence-based approaches. Our online care allows you to focus on healing, connection, and emotional clarity from wherever you feel most comfortable.

What Is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy is mental health treatment delivered remotely using secure video conferencing. It offers the same quality of care as in-person therapy but with greater flexibility and accessibility.

With teletherapy, you can:

  • Attend sessions from your home or a private space

  • Avoid commute time and childcare arrangements

  • Connect on a schedule that works for you

  • Access specialized care no matter where you live in California

Teletherapy is ideal for people experiencing anxiety, depression, reproductive life transitions, grief, identity loss, relationship stress, or challenges rooted in reproductive and perinatal experiences.

Teletherapy FAQs

What equipment do I need for teletherapy?

Teletherapy is designed to be simple and flexible. You can meet with your clinician using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone whatever feels most comfortable for you.

  • If you are using a computer:
    No additional software is required. You can join your session directly through your web browser using a secure link.

  • If you are using a mobile device (phone or tablet):
    You will need to download the Telehealth by SimplePractice app, available for both iOS and Android in the app store.

All sessions are conducted on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy.


How should I prepare my space for a teletherapy appointment?

Choose a space that feels quiet, private, and free from interruptions.

Helpful preparation tips:

  • Close doors and windows to reduce background noise

  • Turn off televisions, notifications, and other distractions

  • Place pets in another room if possible

  • Consider using headphones for added privacy

  • If helpful, place a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door

If you have young children, we recommend scheduling sessions during nap time or arranging an activity that will keep them safely occupied.

Creating a calm, private space allows you to focus fully on your session.


Is teletherapy private and confidential?

Yes. Teletherapy appointments are private and confidential, just like in-person therapy sessions.

  • Sessions are not recorded

  • No audio or video is stored

  • Secure, HIPAA-compliant technology is used at all times

Your privacy and emotional safety are a core part of your care.


Is teletherapy covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover teletherapy the same way they cover in-office therapy sessions. Coverage can vary depending on your plan.

Reproductive Mental Health & Wellness is in-network with Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Health Net/MHN.
Our team is happy to help you verify benefits or answer questions about coverage.
