Teletherapy

I am happy to offer the opportunity to experience counseling sessions through Teletherapy. 

The health concerns we are all facing today may have you curious about Teletherapy. Teletherapy allows a client to continue their counseling sessions in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

What is Teletherapy? Teletherapy is counseling through a computer or smart device.  It is a confidential experience and can be a more convenient option for some clients.

Why would I choose Teletherapy over a face to face session?  We can check in to help you decide if Teletherapy is the right option for you. 

Teletherapy offers ease of scheduling because of eliminating commute time and it offers easy access for clients with busy schedules.  Clients may even notice they feel more comfortable in their homes while participating in counseling sessions.  Children and teens often enjoy technology and may adjust well to counseling sessions via teletherapy.
