Teletherapy Appointments Utilizing Doxy

Teletherapy provides a secure modality for you to meet with your clinician for individual psychotherapy appointments.  Teletherapy is available for STAC students who have been receiving mental health services through CAPS and/or for students who may be seeking assistance for the first time.  To schedule an appointment, please call the CAPS office at 845-398-4065. 

To utilize Teletherapy, please refer to the following instructions listed below:

  • Users need to use Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers.  You will need to first install one of these on your computer, if you haven’t already. 
  • Users do not need to create a doxy.me account.  However, for the first time only, you will need to give permission for your browser to access your microphone and camera.  Note, your computer/tablet/phone needs to have a microphone and camera.
  • Doxy.me can be used on a desktop computer or a tablet or phone.
  • Using Firefox or Google Chrome, go to the URL provided by your therapist in the email that was sent to your STAC email account.
