Teletherapy is also sometimes referred to as Telehealth. Providing services this way is done through your phone, tablet or computer. It is important to have a good connection and to be in a place where you feel that you can speak freely and confidentially and are free from distractions.

Teletherapy can be done for individuals, couple or families. There are some benefits and also some challenges that can occur with teletherapy. Some benefits are that you can literally have your therapy session wherever is most convenient for you. For some, there are benefits in time saved driving back and forth. For others, there may be physical challenges that prohibit you from being able to get to therapy. However, part of the downside would be that for some people you may feel less connected to the therapist not being in-person.

Considering Teletherapy is something that I discuss in advance with each client considering this as an option to determine if it is recommended or even an option.
