FAQs

Mental Health Interpreting Questions

Are your mental health interpreters certified, and do they follow a code of ethics for interpreting?
Yes. We assign certified and qualified medical interpreters with documented behavioral-health experience, working to the national standards of practice and code of ethics for healthcare interpreters. That means impartiality, complete and accurate rendering, and strict confidentiality, which matters when an evaluation or therapy note may be used clinically or in a legal proceeding.

How fast can you get a mental health interpreter for a psychiatric crisis or inpatient admission?
We provide same-day availability for psychiatric emergencies, inpatient behavioral-health units, and safety assessments, typically reaching a qualified interpreter on video within hours of your request. For scheduled evaluations and therapy, hospitals and clinics generally have same-week confirmation. Share the language and setting and we will confirm timing right away.

Do you provide ASL interpreters for Deaf patients in mental health and psychiatric settings?
Yes. We provide qualified ASL interpreters for Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients in therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and crisis care, on-site or by HIPAA-compliant video. Mental health interpreting for Deaf patients requires interpreters fluent in clinical register and cultural context, and every assignment is covered by a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

Are your mental health interpreters HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. Every interpreter works under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and follows HIPAA confidentiality standards. Protected health information shared during evaluations, therapy, or crisis care is handled to the same privacy standard your clinical staff maintain.

Do your interpreters understand clinical and psychiatric terminology?
Yes. Our interpreters are trained in psychiatric and behavioral-health terminology, including diagnostic language, medication names, and crisis vocabulary. Accuracy in a mental health session directly affects assessment and care, so we match interpreters with clinical experience.

Can you provide the same interpreter across multiple sessions?
Where scheduling allows, yes. We prioritize continuity of care by assigning the same interpreter across a patient's sessions, so therapeutic rapport and clinical context carry forward rather than starting over each visit.

Do you support telehealth and tele-psychiatry?
Yes. We provide HIPAA-compliant remote interpreters for tele-psychiatry and online therapy, integrated with your video platform and workflow. Patients can connect with their clinician in their own language from anywhere.

How many languages do you cover?
We provide certified and qualified interpreters in 200+ languages, plus American Sign Language. Whether your program serves a common language pair or a rare one, we can source a qualified mental health interpreter.

How do I request a mental health interpreter?
Request services through our online form, email, or phone (833) 547-7770. Share the setting, language, date, and whether you need on-site, video, or phone, and we will confirm a qualified, HIPAA-compliant interpreter.
