HYBRID THERAPY: PERSONAL CONNECTION WITHOUT FULL-TIME COST

If your staff or parents are hesitant about fully virtual services, the hybrid model provides a thoughtful balance. Students receive consistent care online, with in-person visits for evaluations, rapport-building, or hands-on support. It reassures families and maintains flexibility, without blowing your budget. It’s a win-win: visible support on campus without the pressure of hiring in-house.

IN-PERSON PLACEMENT: YOUR HIRING PROBLEM, SOLVED

When your team is stretched thin and specialists are hard to find, Lighthouse Therapy’s online model offers immediate relief. Our seasoned therapists deliver high-quality sessions through Zoom, with all documentation securely managed in our EMR system. You stay in compliance, and get the help you need fast.
