Currently providing virtual counseling in California. EMDR, Trauma Resiliency Model, and other mind-body applications are available though virtual counseling.
There are many benefits to virtual counseling. It takes away the time to drive to an office, find parking, and drive back home. I have found through experience, that clients are more likely to keep their appointments because virtual counseling takes away commuting barriers. You can have your session from the privacy and comfort of your home or office. This is also very helpful when working with trauma or anxiety issues. Clients often report they are better able to focus on distressing materials in therapy when they are in their own physical space. For example, a client has access to their pet, weighted blanket, or other items that provide comfort. Lastly, I provide sessions through a portal that is completely compliant with HIPPA regulations.
