Why Psychotherapy?
The safe space created in the counseling room through a strong therapeutic relationship can be beneficial to a persons personal growth. People who come to therapy are not "crazy" or "insane". Many people come to improve immediate physical or psychological symptoms. For example, you may have body aches or headaches that are not going away, you may have trouble sleeping, focusing, or you feel sad, or mad for longer periods of time. Sometimes you notice changes in yourself, don’t understand why, or you find it difficult to regulate emotions.
People may also come to therapy to gain clarity and surface deeper meaning or purpose, make decisions or changes.
It is common for people to seek such services when they are struggling with life problems, or not functioning well in school, at work, or in their relationships. Therapy offers a personal space outside the norms of ones social self to
discover, explore, and build a desired self.
Sometimes people are struggling with long term mental illnesses such as borderline personality disorder, major depression, eating disorders, schizophrenia, etc. Whatever the reason, research shows us that such illnesses are manageable, treatable, and that you can be hopeful that you will live a productive fulfilling life
if you do what needs to be done. Therapy works if you work it!
Research has consistently shown that engaging in a therapeutic relationship even for a limited amount of time will show profound changes in how people interact with their environment or other people. Their attitudes and behaviors also improve. Some outcomes may include recovering quickly from stressful situations. Others involve being less defensive
and more adaptive to meet situations more effectively.
Therapy may help you: balance mood, manage stress, improve self-esteem, make desired changes,
diminish self-doubt, improve interpersonal relationships, feel more connected, and so forth.

Why Telehealth?
Video sessions, also known as telehealth appointments, are helpful to people who reside in areas where therapeutic services are unavailable, or if you are looking for a specific person or treatment approach that is not available nearby.
It may also help avoid disruptions in services when you are unable to make in person appointments due to the weather, your travel schedule, immobility, etc. It may also be helpful for people who need therapy but have certain challenges that prevent them from coming into the office.

How Does this Work?
We use a secure HIPAA compliant platform to video conference with you. You will need a good internet connection and a private space to attend. Once our appointment is set up you will be sent a link for our session. When you click on the link it will take you to a waiting room. When your therapist joins at your session time you will see a blue tab below that reads "Join Live Better." Click on that and we will be connected.
Is this for Me?
After our initial consultation or assessment we would get a better idea of whether you are a good candidate for telehealth. Typically we do not recommended this for clients who need a higher level of therapeutic support
or those dealing with specific challenges.
