Virtual Therapy

WHAT IS VIRTUAL THERAPY?

As you might suspect, Virtual Therapy, (otherwise known as telemedicine, teletherapy, or video therapy), is an offering where you meet with me for a session remotely via video. Sessions look almost the same as they would in-person, except we are convening online instead. This option works amazing for some and isn't the most ideal for others (see below). 

Virtual Therapy is being offered to all clients, new & current, at this time!  With current shelter-in-place orders, in person sessions are not possible, but I am so grateful to have the accessibility to working remotely! 
​

HOW DO I KNOW IF VIRTUAL THERAPY COULD WORK FOR ME?

Reasons Virtual Therapy could be a good option for you:
  • Commuting and a challenging schedule makes it difficult or impossible to get to in-person psychotherapy sessions.
  • There are limited options for psychotherapists where you are living  (small community, rural).
  • You are moving to a different part of California and want to continue to still work with me.  
  • Managing physical disability, chronic illness, chronic pain, or any physical limitation that makes travel challenging.
  • Frequent work travel that makes it hard to maintain consistent sessions for in-person therapy. 
  • You have reliable access to high speed internet
  • You feel good about, or are at least open to, having support from a therapist in a virtual setting. 
  • You have a safe and confidential space for weekly hour-long sessions. 
  • Feel confident that your home environment would not be distracting.
  • You are a new parent and have a hard time finding childcare. 

Reasons In-Person Sessions would be the best fit:
  • Not having a safe or confidential space/home
  • Dealing with a current/active crisis
  • Having a diagnosis that requires a greater level of support
  • Managing/struggling with addiction
  • Are actively suicidal
  • You have unreliable high-speed internet
  • Dislike or feel challenged with connecting & communicating via screens/online platforms.
  • You feel distracted by other computer-related tasks when virtual.
