Online Counseling and Telemental Health Works

More and more reports and research have been validating the effectiveness of phone counseling, email consultations and ways, other than traditional psychotherapy, of connecting with people in a therapeutic manner. Studies have found that telemental health services break down treatment barriers , such as the stigma of seeing a mental health professional, immobilizing personal fears, transportation issues and other limitations that restrict consumer's attainment of traditional psychotherapy services.

As a society evolves, advances in technology capability are making mental health services available to a larger, historically isolated population of consumers. These options have not been available to these individuals in the past. As our society and mental health services evolve, we have chosen to embrace the opportunities of online and telecounseling services. We are excited about our ability to offer increased flexibility while maintaining quality counseling services.

The first email inquiry is FREE. We are interested in connecting with you about your concerns and helping you get back on track! Contact Us! We looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Psychotherapy works over the phone, study says...
