Hello!
So, largely in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, my internship site is shifting to provide services through teletherapy, with most providers encouraged to do so from home. However, I reside in a different state from where my site is located (I live in PA, site is in MD). The question I have is how legal (given COVID-19) is it for me to conduct teletherapy from PA with clients who are in MD assuming I have supervision by someone licensed in MD? I contacted the licensure board for PA and they indicated it was legal on their side of things due to COVID-19, but I can't determine if it's the case for MD. Any and all insight and suggestions would be so helpful!
