Online Therapy
ONLINE THERAPY IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO OBTAIN THERAPY AND PROVIDE INCREASED ACCESS TO CARE FOR MANY CLIENTS.
Online therapy offers flexibility in scheduling for many people. All sessions are conducted online and are available to individuals located anywhere within the state of Colorado at the time of the session!
Other benefits to online therapy include:
A much shorter commute! In our growing communities it is not uncommon for the commute to an appointment to take longer than the actual appointment. Online therapy eliminates the traffic jam and stress of getting to an office appointment.
Let’s face it. We live in Colorado and weather changes on a dime. Online therapy can help with maintaining scheduled appointments when the snow flies or the wind blows on the mountains.
Sick kiddos or our own sick days come up unexpectedly. Online therapy can help you keep your appointments and making progress toward your treatment goals.
Online therapy can be invaluable to client’s with physical limitations, transportation limitations and financial limitations by saving fuel expenses.
You have greater access to therapist expertise that meets your needs. Maybe you live in a community that doesn’t have a local therapist that quite fits what you are looking for in a provider. Online therapy can open up your provider options to help you find the therapist that is the best fit for you. Check me out and see if we may be a good fit!
ONLINE THERAPY IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR EVERYONE
Online therapy is not appropriate for client’s with more serious psychiatric illnesses that require close and direct treatment. It is also not appropriate for people who are actively suicidal or if you are a danger to yourself or someone else.
You will need high speed and reliable internet connection for video chat. Even then, technology does sometimes fail and this can impact the flow of conversation.
We will discuss what happens when technology fails during a session. I use video conferencing with a HIPAA secure platform through Simple Practice. Once you become a client, you will be sent information and a link for my secure client portal.
Colorado requires that you be 18 years or older and be physically located in the state of Colorado during the online therapy session. I am not licensed to practice in any other states.
