Convenient and effective

Video counselling sessions are proven to be as effective as in-person sessions in non-crisis situations.

Video counselling also provides additional benefits for clients such as increased confidentiality and convenience.

SAGE Virtual makes it easy for you to host secure and encrypted video appointments that are compliant with Canadian healthcare privacy laws and relevant college guidelines.

For group practices and larger clinics, SAGE Virtual also has a number of features designed to help admin staff and intake personnel coordinate, stay organized, and save time.
