Our team ensures that every provider we bring to the platform is fully licensed and in good standing. Providers who apply are required to provide proper licensure documentation, proof of identity, and references from other licensed practitioners who have worked with them. We then cross-check their licensure information with their respective state licensing board.
Our goal is two fold: 1) to provide our clients with easy access to as many Jewish mental health care professionals as possible with a ‘one-stop shop’ website that allows you to complete your visit from start to finish without the hassle of leaving your home. 2) To provide as many frum mental health care professionals the option of practicing independently from the comfort of their home or office and to service our amazing communities.
Patients pay our website NOTHING. That is correct. NOTHING. We charge a small fee to the providers who are listed on our website.

Most insurances do cover mental health visits, including telemed mental health visits. However, if your insurance does not, you have the option of sliding scale and cash pay as well.
YES! Privacy is extremely important to us. The virtual visit software is HIPPA compliant and can only be accessed by the provider YOU have selected. No other providers in the database can see any information about you or your visits.
During Covid-19 many rules and regulations have been relaxed and several States allow providers in states other than where they live. However, the rules and laws are constantly changing so please be in touch with your selected provider or insurance company for the most updated information.
JTP is a database for independent mental health counselors who work directly with you. These counselors are NOT employees of JTP and the site does not oversee them professionally. Each counselor has complete autonomy in his/her practice style, documentation, billing, etc. Our mission is to build, maintain, and support a platform that lets users and counselors communicate effectively, and to facilitate this website so providers and patients have to do as little ‘behind the scenes’ work as possible. In short, JTP is the shadchan between provider and client. Each client can select a counselor and start a clinic visit without wasting time sitting on hold with a doctor’s office or an 800 number or waiting in a waiting room for hours. JTP has also worked exceedingly hard to keep the scheduling process as quick and simple as possible.

Providers

If the pandemic taught us anything, it is the necessity of a flexible schedule.  Where do we start? You have been waiting to build your own practice with the autonomy and flexibility your schedule needs. However, finding the time to research website design, marketing, HIPPA compliant virtual visit software that includes user friendly billing is a challenging, overwhelming task, not to mention potentially very expensive.

JTP has researched tirelessly to find the most user-friendly HIPPA compliant virtual visit software so that providers and clients are happy and satisfied with their virtual visit experience. One of the best options that JTP offers is you choose your own workload. We have one of the most thorough marketing campaigns running on a continuous basis so you don’t have to worry about getting your name out there and finding patients.  JTP does all the grunt work and behind the scenes work in exchange for a small fee to help keep our business running. This small fee is your entire overhead. In addition, 10% of our profit goes straight to a tzedakah fund to help those in need of our services who cannot afford it.
