Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services.
What is telehealth therapy?
Telehealth therapy, also known as online therapy, counseling or teletherapy, is mental health services delivered remotely through video conferencing, phone calls, or even messaging platforms. It allows folks to access therapy from the comfort of their own home.
Is telehealth therapy effective?
Yes, research has shown that telehealth therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. It offers convenience, accessibility, and flexibility while maintaining the same level of professionalism and confidentiality as face-to-face therapy.
What types of issues can be addressed through telehealth therapy?
Telehealth therapy can address a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, substance abuse, and more. Therapists can provide support, guidance, and interventions tailored to your specific needs and goals.
How do I know if telehealth therapy is right for me?
Telehealth therapy is NOT for everyone. It may be a good option for you if you’re seeking convenient and accessible mental health services, prefer the flexibility of remote sessions, or have difficulty accessing in-person therapy due to geographic limitations, mobility issues, or other constraints. It’s important to consider your individual preferences and comfort level with technology when deciding if telehealth therapy is right for you. Your therapist will help assess to see if telehealth is a good option for you.
What can I expect during a telehealth therapy session?
During a telehealth therapy session, you can expect to engage in meaningful conversations with your therapist, explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping skills and strategies, and work towards your therapy goals. Sessions typically last around 53 minutes and may involve a combination of talking, reflection, and other therapeutic exercises.
Is telehealth therapy confidential?
