Telehealth is therapy done through video. I use a secure platform for this which is easy for the client to use as they are emailed or texted a link and click on it. Easy peasy! Because of telehealth options, I can see clients throughout the state of California and Florida, both states in which I am licensed. A client can choose face-to-face appointments or telehealth services.

Benefits of telehealth

• If I get a little sniffle or you get a little sniffle, we can still meet! I have seen plenty of clients through video while they are recovering from Covid. Covid can be very isolating, and the clients benefit from having this contact unless of course they are feeling pretty crummy

• No traffic!

• If you have to go see your family out of town and are worried about being triggered, we can have a session, so long as you are in California or Florida at the time of the session

• Saves time for travel and getting ready

• One can do this in the convenience of their home or work

• Increased flexibility

• Improved access- mental health services are needed now more than ever and sometimes it can be hard to find a therapist. Telehealth helps make the pond much bigger and I have a number of clients in the NorCal area

• You can snuggle your pet during session!

Is telehealth right for everyone?

No. Some clients benefit more from face-to-face contact and knowing that the therapist is an arm’s length away. This physical close proximity can give a person a feeling of comfort especially if that person has attachment ruptures. Additionally, some clients find it really distracting to engage in therapy in their homes, particularly if it is a busy or tense home and therefore, they may prefer minimizing distractions during their own therapy.
