No matter the distance, we’re always here for you.

Internet based, online counseling isn’t new and has been around for over a decade now. Long enough that we’re already learning from a body of research that, it can be just as effective as counseling with a therapist in person. People have used it thru quarantine to stay safe – and continue to use it. Often after a first-time online counseling session we hear, ‘that’s a lot more like meeting at your office than I expected.’

Meeting at the office is always an option too and some of our clients do both and take advantage of the flexibility it offers. The process of scheduling the online counseling session is the same as it is for scheduling a therapy session to meet with your counselor at our office. Once you schedule the session you receive a link in your email, click on it to set up your camera and mic – and your counselor will be online to meet with you. Choose your – computer, phone or tablet.
