​Everything you need to know on one page

Making your first therapy appointment can be a daunting task. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to ask for help; like admitting that going to counseling is somehow admitting failure. It is not. Courage is not always something you need in great moments, courage, in small quiet moments, is what you'll need when you are starting your journey into counseling.

​PART 2 INFORMED CONSENT FOR TREATMENT

It's common to feel worried or unsure about what to expect from therapy which is why I included some examples of using teletherapy as well as videos to give you some information on what to expect.  

VIDEO THERAPY (DOXY.ME)

​Doxy.me is a telemedicine solution designed for healthcare providers. It is HIPAA compliant and offers a secure platform for conducting therapy sessions. It is accessible from everywhere: Your desktop, tablet & smartphone.

​Simple and convenient to use: See your therapist from anywhere. 

No downloads or accounts: Just use a browser on a computer or device with a camera and microphone.
​  
Private and secure: All data is encrypted, your sessions are anonymous, and none of your information is stored. 

PHONE THERAPY

Phone therapy or phone counselling, is the process of talking to a therapist via cell or telephone.  In some cases, telephone therapy or counseling is not only appropriate but can be more effective than traditional face to face therapy. 

Phone communication can be very comfortable or easier than talking to someone in person or video.

You can connect with your therapist at a time that fits your schedule and from a location that you prefer.
