Telehealth, and Online Counseling in particular has been found to be extremely effective in assisting with a wide variety of concerns and has a number of advantages over traditional office-based Counseling, making it a very attractive option for those who

  • Prefer to have sessions in the comfort of your own home because they are a caretaker for others or simply enjoy their own home-environment.
  • Have a very tight schedule which makes commuting times to appointments very difficult.
  • Are not always in the same location because of their work-schedule or for personal reasons, yet do not want to sacrifice the self-care feature of having an on-going Counseling relationship.
  • Enjoy the flexibility of Counseling being accessible from almost anywhere and anytime, fitting their own schedule.
  • Live in a location which offers few appropriate Counseling Resources nearby

On-line Counseling may be an excellent option for you, all you need is a reliable Internet Connection. Additionally, Online Counseling is generally more budget-friendly than traditional office-based Counseling because savings resulting from lower overhead can be passed along to you.

It is not necessary to purchase Counseling Packages – you can talk weekly or as often or rarely as you like. Online Counseling takes place in a special, secure online Therapy Room.

However, Online Counseling is not for everybody and all situations: It is inappropriate in crisis situations because we are most likely not in the same location, I cannot prescribe medications, or readily interact with your physician and other local resources. Another potential disadvantage might be that so far Online Counseling is generally not covered by most Health Insurances. However, as mentioned above, this may well be offset by lower Online Counseling costs.

If you are ready to further explore this option, it would be great to hear from you and to schedule a free, no-obligation 30-minute consultation.
