Why Psychotherapy?
The safe space created in the counseling room through a strong therapeutic relationship can be beneficial to a persons self development. People who come to therapy are not "crazy" or "insane". Many people come to improve physical or psychological symptoms. For example, you may have body aches or headaches that are not going away, you may have trouble sleeping, focusing, 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 emotional states.
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 implement what you learn in therapy.
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 with other people. Their attitudes and behaviors improve. Some outcomes may include recovering quickly from stressful situations, experiencing emotional states less intensely, improved awareness and control. Other benefits 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.

It is a direction not a destination"

Video Sessions
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 (theranest) 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 and/or assessment we would get a better idea of whether you are a good candidate for telehealth services. Typically we do not recommended this for clients who need a higher level of therapeutic support
or those dealing with specific challenges.
