Why Telehealth?
There are a few reasons why telehealth is a great option for therapy. As a therapist, it allows me to lower my overhead costs, which leads to a (hopefully) more affordable session rate. Telehealth also allows me to reach more clients - I meet with people from all over Florida! As a client, telehealth allows for more comfort on your end - feel free to sit on your couch, in bed, or in your car (parked, please!). By being able to choose your location, it can help you feel more at ease and safe.
Does it actually work?
There have also been more & more studies coming out regarding the effectiveness for telehealth compared to in person therapy. These studies obviously became more relevant due to the pandemic; however, there were studies beforehand, as well. In the studies that I have researched, as well as in the telehealth trainings I’ve attended, telehealth therapy has been shown to have an insignificant difference in effectiveness & quality of treatment!
I assure you that you’ll receive the same quality of care from me through telehealth as compared to in person. Another bonus to telehealth, my cats join most of our sessions - they’re a crucial part of the whole care team!
