Benefits to TeleTherapy
Many people find that speaking over the phone encourages deeper listening and keeps them present and in-the-moment.
TeleTherapy offers increased access to those with ​​
-
physical or medical limitations​
-
transportation concerns
-
work, family, and other time constraints
-
severe mental health symptoms that limit ability to engage in more traditional therapy settings
​
Privacy and Comfort are enhanced by choosing your own space.
​
Effectiveness - Research indicates that teletherapy can be just as effective as meeting in person.
Barriers in TeleTherapy
Online or phone-based platforms aren't right for everyone. Individuals who have difficulty with technology, attention, and/or vision and hearing may not experience the most effective therapy available to them.
​
Other potential barriers include:
-
connection issues and quality
-
potential interruptions at home
-
other incoming calls
-
limited visual cues important to interventions or diagnosis
-
difficulty forming a relationship with your clinician
