Online Therapy
Couples/Family Therapy
Online Therapy
- Individuals, families and couples can be seen online in Washington DC, Florida, Maryland, Virginia or Pennsylvania. If you are located outside the USA, or in another state, prior to services we will check the mental health regulations where you physically are located.
- Online therapy is a secure (encrypted) two-way video. You will have access to your own secure online portal with all electronic paperwork, scheduling, messaging and billing. It provides such convenience.
- Eliminates commute time and cost for those on a tight schedule or budget. You can even have a session from your secure work office.
- Just prop up your computer/iPad/phone, sit back in the comfort of your own space and you are all set. Privacy tips can be suggested upon intake.
- You are learning and practicing changes while in your everyday environment.
- Sitting with a blanket, tea and candles on your couch creates comfort when discussing difficulties. Having therapy in your own space has proven to increase openness and decrease anxiety than in an office setting.
- When it is safe to do so, online therapy can be provided in conjunction with in-person therapy in Downtown DC to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and personal connection.
