“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”

SERVICES ARE PROVIDED VIA A SECURE TELEHEALTH PLATFORM
Telehealth, also referred to as telemedicine, telepsychology, is the use of technology to communicate and provide (mental) health assessments, diagnoses, interventions and information across a distance, as opposed to face to face. Each state has particular requirements that must be adhered to in order for a provider to utilize telehealth for treatment purposes.
All therapy sessions and consultations will take place via Simple Practice, a secure TeleHealth Platform. TeleHealth offers flexibility both in time and location.
In-person versus TeleHealth sessions is an important consideration when finding a new therapist. Often, patients feel more relaxed in the comforts of an environment of their choosing and many patients are able to meet at a time that historically would have not been feasible (e.g. during the work day) due to commute times to and from the therapists office.
