Telehealth
We provide video and telephone mental health services for individuals seeking psychotherapy. For many people, it can be difficult to schedule an in-person counseling session. Busy schedules, frequent travel, rural residence, military duty, long-distance relationships, childcare issues, anxiety, physical limitations, or limited transportation are a few of the many possible barriers to seeking help.
We offer online sessions to make therapy more feasible for our clients. Research has shown that distance counseling, whether through online video or telephone, can be just as effective as face-to-face counseling.
The coronavirus global pandemic is impacting millions of people around the world. In times like these, client care is as critical as ever. That’s why we’re addressing the most commonly asked questions below and offering this service to all clients.
