What is tele-counseling?

Tele-counseling is a new, more convenient, and more affordable way to receive behavioral healthcare. With tele therapy you can see me from home, the office, or on the go, via phone or secure video—on your schedule. My HIPAA-compliant teletherapy service is easy to use, and requires no special hardware. It’s behavioral health therapy made easy that is secure and confidential . This is a convenient and effective way to stay connected and continue our counseling sessions when you are traveling, cannot access mental health services because of distance, need to connect quickly, are ill, or weather prevents you from coming to my office in person.

Does tele-counseling work just as well as face-to-face sessions?

Yes! In fact, in a 2013 study conducted by clinical researchers from the University of Zurich, it was determined that patients who received psychotherapy for depression via the Internet had outcomes that were just as good, if not better, than the same number of patients receiving conventional face-to-face therapy (53% vs 50%). In addition, 95% of those patients who received telehealth services were satisfied with their experience, versus 91% of patients who received conventional treatment. Both groups of patients in the study described their visits with their therapists as “personal.”
