Online & Phone Therapy
Effective therapy from the comfort of your own space via secure video sessions or telephone calls.
Remote Therapy Experience
Our remote therapy sessions provide the same high-quality care as our in-person sessions but with the added convenience of connecting from wherever you are. Choose between video calls using secure, confidential platforms or traditional telephone sessions - whichever feels most comfortable for you.
Remote therapy has become increasingly popular, and research shows it can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many people. It eliminates travel time, provides flexibility with scheduling, and allows you to engage in therapy from a space where you feel most comfortable.
What to Expect
Before Your Session
After booking, you'll receive details for your session - either a secure link to join your video call or confirmation of the phone number we'll use to reach you. For video calls, we recommend testing your equipment beforehand to ensure everything is working properly.
During Your Session
Remote sessions follow the same format as in-person therapy. We'll connect at your scheduled time, and we will guide the conversation based on your needs. Sessions typically last 1-2 hours depending on what you've arranged.
Privacy
For video calls, we use secure, encrypted platforms that comply with privacy regulations. For all remote sessions, we recommend finding a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted, and where you feel comfortable speaking openly.
Benefits of Remote Therapy
Remote therapy offers several unique advantages that make it an excellent option for many people:
- Convenience and Flexibility: No travel time means therapy can fit more easily into your busy schedule.
- Comfort of Your Own Space: Engage in therapy from familiar surroundings where you may feel more at ease.
- Increased Accessibility: Access quality therapy regardless of your location, mobility limitations, or transportation challenges.
- Reduced Barriers: Some people find it easier to open up when in their own environment, potentially accelerating the therapeutic process.
- Continuity of Care: Bad weather, illness, or travel won't interrupt your therapy journey.
- Options for Different Needs: Choose between video or phone depending on your comfort level, technological access, and personal preference.
We understand that different preferences and circumstances might make remote or in-person sessions more suitable for you. We're happy to discuss which option might work best for your specific situation.
