HOW WILL I KNOW IF YOU’RE THE RIGHT THERAPIST FOR ME?

You are dedicating time and resources and want to be sure you are picking the right person. You should consider logistical factors (office location, availability) as well as personal factors. An initial phone consultation should be able answer some of these questions – I suggest that you think about the questions that will inform your decision. Sometimes you have to be in a room with someone before you truly have a feel for the person. The first couple of face-to-face sessions can continue to inform your decision and we can talk about any ongoing reservations or concerns you might have.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE THERAPY?

Providing teletherapy during an event like COVID-19 can be a great way to help our clients to continue care during these times of heightened anxiety and stress. 

Teletherapy allows you to receive mental health care in the safety and comfort of your own home, in surroundings that make you feel at ease, in your own safe space. When you’re comfortable in your surroundings, you’re likely to have an easier time opening up.

Teletherapy allows access to those who are chronically ill, disabled, or temporarily homebound.

You can attend your session even if you’re not feeling well. For more information please look at our article here about Online Therapy.
