With online therapy, you can receive the support you need from the comfort of your own home. We are dedicated to providing you with the same level of care and connection that you would receive in person.
Reasons to Choose Online:
- Living or working in a remote community where access to therapy in-person is limited
- Having limited time away from home, work and/or school obligations
- Have difficulty securing child care
- Have medical conditions or other circumstances that might limit your mobility or ability to meet in-person
Helpful Online Tips:
- Make sure you are in a private, quiet location. Using headphones can help increase privacy. For those who share a house with roommates/kids/parents, sometimes finding a private place can be difficult. It’s helpful to think this through before your session begins. If you are having difficulty figuring out a private space, reach out to your therapist. They can help you brainstorm ideas.
- Make sure, if you do have roommates, kids, partners, parents around that they know you will be having an online therapy session. This can help prevent interruptions and “oops” moments of people walking through your session and being seen by the therapist without their knowledge.
- Make sure you have a good internet connection and that you don’t have other apps or programs running in the background while you are in session. This can help minimize tech-related disruptions.
- Take a few minutes (5 to 10) to prepare for your session. Think about how you want to use your time in therapy that day. Often people use their car ride or waiting room time to gather their thoughts and prepare for sessions. Taking a few minutes to sit and settle in before session can make a big difference in focus.
- Make sure your therapist can see you and that you can see them throughout session.
- Using your phone is convenient. Using a tablet or laptop you don’t have to hold can help reduce distraction of holding a phone and allow you to be more present during session. Being hands-free is preferred, though, we understand, not always possible.
