ONLINE SCHEDULING, PAPERWORK, AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENT
I offer several modes of secure technology services to enhance your experience of counseling and help save you time. By creating an account through my secure client portal, you will have 24/7 access to view my availability, schedule and re-schedule counseling sessions, and complete paperwork and assessments online. Your client portal is also the means by which I offer online video sessions (see below for more information on these services). In addition, using your client portal will allow us to optimize the time we spend together in session, by allowing me to provide you with the option for personalized assessments, journaling, homework, and communication with me between our sessions.
IN-PERSON SESSIONS
I have the ability to meet with clients in person on Mondays and Tuesday. Many folks find that meeting in person allows them to feel a more "human" connection, establish trust, and be provided with a safe space where they can unpack different issues and leave them in the office until our next session. This can be helpful in providing both a mental and physical separation between home life and therapy.
ONLINE (VIDEO) COUNSELING SESSIONS
For many, scheduling an in-person counseling session can prove difficult. Busy schedules, limited transportation, frequent travel, rural residence, long-distance relationships, anxiety, physical limitations, or military duty are a few of the many possible obstacles to seeking help. I offer online sessions to make counseling more feasible for my clients. A growing body of research demonstrates that distance counseling, can be just as effective as face-to-face counseling.
Here are some of the necessary requirements for online video sessions:
For online video sessions, you will simply log in to the secure client area a few minutes prior to our scheduled video session, click on the scheduled session, and then click "start video session".
