The benefits of teletherapy:

  • Think Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype with confidential content

  • Get therapy where you are/youth is, whether it’s at home, office, staff lounge, or grandma’s house on vacation… (best on a computer, not phone)

  • Others report that they like doing therapy in their loungewear 

  • No travel time to and from the office

  • I see my own therapist via Teletherapy so I know first hand that it works well. I like the convenience and I find that it's more professionally ‘casual’ than being in a physical office.
     

And during the COVID-19 crisis, most therapists are using teletherapy to continue the work with their clients.

 

What has research shown?

  • Teletherapy is a subcategory of Telemedicine that has been happening since the early 90’s 

  • In the late 1990’s - now, the government supported a boom in research studies to understand and set up regulations for telemedicine

  • Massive studies* have shown that teletherapy is an effective form of therapy, providing similar results as in-office sessions

  • Teletherapy can assess and address a wide number of issues

What to expect in teletherapy?

​

​I use a mental health software program called ‘Simple Practice’ designed to provide HIPAA privacy, everything becomes encrypted to protect the session, your electronic health record, online bookings, etc.

​

Both of us need somewhere private with access to internet and computer (not phone*).

 

If you are interested, I offer a free 15-min. Teletherapy session to get you familiar with it and potentially kick off the work together (for youth, this would be a brief parent meeting).

​

*If you only have access to a phone please let me know ahead of time so we can switch to a phone session
