Welcome to the new normal where traditional life is out, and change is necessary! 

I want to reassure you of the researched benefits of telehealth psychotherapy.  You may be surprised by the overly positive outcomes.

The Upside of Telehealth Counseling:  The most common concern by clients is that online counseling is less effective than traditional in-person services. Telehealth is not new; it has been around and well researched for many years. In fact, I have been using telehealth for psychotherapy services for many years prior to the pandemic with great outcomes and great feedback from clients. Research is conclusive that telehealth is at least as effective as in-person counseling, and in some cases, research concludes telehealth is more effective than in-person counseling!  Additional benefits include;

1. Convenience. If you have a computer, phone, or mobile device, you can access counseling services from home, work, a park, or anywhere you feel is most convenient for you. With no drive-time to calculate, many find it easier to fit into their busy schedules, or even lunchbreak!

2. Consistency and Goal Accomplishment. Significant reduction in cancellations and no-shows. Consistency is the key to build momentum and find the progress you want to meet your treatment goals. You can show up in your comfy clothes, or in the snow, rain, and hail!

3. Better access to mental health care. Telehealth is beneficial for those travel for work, live in small towns with limited options, or those seeking specialists for their specific needs which are not locally available. 

4. Increased Confidentiality.  With telehealth, you have 100% confidentiality due to eliminated waiting rooms and contact with anyone other than your therapist.
