This paper is an exploratory research comparison between using standard tele psych over 2D devices with HMD ( Head Mounted Device) using the Thera VRTM software. The single case example is with the pediatric mental health subject, and was specifically used to treat PTSD and co morbid symptoms related to the impact of COVID-19. The case usage was all delivered as telemedicine, and was conducted in private practice. Interventions used on all devices were Trauma Focused CBT. Results suggested a positive improvement on both patient engagement and outcome in treatment after continuous use of Virtual Reality as telehealth with avatar technology.
