We utilize simple practice a HIPAA Compliant platform for telehealth sessions. All communications between our clients and their therapist are completely confidential.
Sessions are only offered weekly or more each week, depending on the level of support you feel is needed. We can not offer bi-weekly sessions at this time because doing so will take away a spot for someone who may be in need of weekly sessions. We offer telehealth and in-person sessions.
Let’s be real, there are times when technology is not our friend, and we can choose whether it is better to continue with a voice call or to reschedule for another time. Also you may be feeling like this is all you have to offer that week, and we are okay with this we are willing to meet you where you are at and make therapy feel comfortable for you.
Let’s not set expectations and take it at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Therapy is and should be a safe space to explore whatever comes up for you. Together we will work on improving any aspects of your life that you wish to explore. We look forward to connecting with you!
