It is so heartwarming to see that Congress finally mandated that the Department of Defense make Online Therapy available to military personnel.

MyTherapyNet is working with HealthNet to provide secure mental health services via the internet to military personnel under the TriCare health plan. Members and Providers log in at https://www.mytherapynet.com/hnfs/, the MyTherapyNet / HealthNet Federal Services portal.

Military personnel have a difficult time accessing conventional face-to-face therapy. The most common reason is that they are uncomfortable going in person to a clinic for fear there may be negative career repercussions. The other commonly cited reason is that often there simply is no access to a therapist – especially for personnel stationed in remote areas – and most military bases are intentionally in remote areas.

Online Therapy provides access to mental health services no matter where the person may be. We see there is still a ways to go before our solution is fully implemented, but we are so very pleased to see that the government has taken this significant step in the right direction.

If you are in the military or an immediate family member, and you wish to learn more about our HealthNet / MyTherapyNet Online Therapy Program, feel free to email us at customerservice@mytherapynet.com.
