Teletherapy in California
Teletherapy, or online counseling, is now a common & accepted way to receive mental health services (Thanks, Pandemic!)
Why Teletherapy in California?
You want to start therapy, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. Perhaps you live in Los Angeles (where I live) and you just don’t want to deal with traffic. Maybe your “ideal” therapist is on one side of town and you’re on the other; all Angelenos know this struggle! Or it feels like there aren’t enough providers to choose from in your area. Maybe you’d just prefer doing counseling from the comfort of your own home, or you’d like to fit it in during your workday instead of carving out all that extra time for travel.
If you have working internet or a phone, teletherapy is a way to cut cost and time while still getting the help you need. I offer teletherapy sessions by video or phone, which enables me to help people all over California, and makes me accessible to you even if you’re not in my city. We can accomplish everything in an online counseling session that we would in person. If you feel like teletherapy is right for you, contact me now.
Teletherapy for Depression
I am currently offering teletherapy sessions for depression. The depression spiral can be debilitating: you don’t feel like doing anything, so you don’t. Then you feel more depressed, so you do less. You then get even more depressed, and want to do even less, and on and on. Driving to therapy might feel like one. more. thing. you can’t deal with right now. Thankfully, help is available. Reach out now.
Teletherapy for Teens
Therapy for teens online is natural fit for our tech-savvy youth. They’ve already got the mic, tri-pod and ring light all set up! If you’ve googled “teen therapist near me” for your teen, and haven’t found what you’re looking for, consider teletherapy. I’m here to support both you and your teen. Let’s chat.
How Online Therapy Works
After we schedule a session, you will receive information about how to connect for online therapy. Sessions can take place by video or phone, depending on what works best for you. You will need a private space, a reliable internet connection or phone service, and enough time to speak openly without interruption.
The heart of therapy remains the same: a supportive relationship, honest conversation and space to better understand yourself.
