***It’s important for all of us to know that the federal government has recently stated that they are not intending to prosecute healthcare professionals who uses non-encrypted, non-hipaa compliant video conferencing during this acute crisis. This means we can use free services such as skype to communicate with our patients in the short term. This offer is for people who prefer to continue to use healthcare level encryption, the reliability of Zoom and features like scheduling appointments and virtual waiting room, etc. ***

The Sacramento Psychoanalytic Society has been working on ways to help facilitate and maintain ongoing therapeutic relationships during these difficult times, balancing this with the realities of shelter-in-place orders and quarantines.

Given all this, It seems inevitable there will be periods of time when video conferencing will play a helpful role maintaining these therapeutic relationships, bridging gaps when physical proximity is impossible.

Despite the availability of free services, many people who use video conferencing regularly have increasingly relied on Zoom – their healthcare grade service is hipaa compliant, has high level security and has features like a virtual waiting room, the ability to schedule appointments in advance and has consistent high quality video reception with a minimum of interruptions – something that is especially important when trying to engage in dynamic therapy over the internet.  However, the costs of healthcare grade zoom to individual users is prohibitive for many people –$200/month.

To try and help with this, SPS is offering to provide the healthcare grade zoom to its members for a rate of $300 per year (that comes out to $25 per month). Each user has their own sign in, their own account and the ability to have an unlimited number of totally private meetings scheduled and can theoretically have meetings of up to 300 people. However, to do this we need at least 10 people who are willing to pay the year’s subscription cost (we already have about 6 people).

If you would like to participate in this program please sign up for the virtual meeting on Zoom on Monday March 23rd at 6:15pm. I will send an email containing a link to download and run Zoom and instructions to participate in the meeting.


Hope this helps,


John Cornelius

President, Sacramento Psychoanalytic Society
