In this episode, I sit down with Bonnie Contreras, Senior Director of Clinical Solutions at Presence, to talk about the future of remote service delivery in school psychology.

Bonnie’s unique journey as a military spouse and school psychologist across multiple states led her to teletherapy, where she’s passionate about increasing access for students and supporting districts through innovative solutions.

We discuss the benefits and challenges of teletherapy, building trust in virtual environments, and how practitioners can embrace technology without losing the human connection.

Bonnie shares why teletherapy is not just possible but powerful, and how schools can use it to bridge practitioner shortages, extend student support, and strengthen collaboration.

If you’ve ever wondered whether remote services can truly meet student needs, you’ll find this conversation both eye-opening and encouraging.
