Yes! Research shows telehealth as an effective means of providing therapy. Telehealth is always an option for those who find it beneficial and is offered through a compliant HIPAA secured platform.

Each session can look and feel different. Overall, therapy is collaborative and you can expect a supportive and confidential environment where your thoughts and feelings are valued. Sometimes we may explore your concerns and look for new insights and coping strategies. Other times, we may focus more on how is your body responding to things like stress, trauma, and other stimuli. Sometimes therapy feels worse before things feel better. Each session is tailored to your needs and focused on helping you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Cancellations and re-scheduled sessions will be subject to the entire fee of $150, if not received at least 48 hours in advance. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. You will be responsible for the entire fee of $150 for any missed appointments that are not cancelled and not attended (“no-show”). If you are more than 15 minutes late to a session, your appointment is considered a “no-show” and you will be responsible for the missed appointment fee of $150.
