Welcome to your Healing Journey

No, but you can use a computer, tablet or your smartphone. Be sure to use the test feature to ensure that everything is working appropriately prior to your session. Any smartphone, such as an iPhone, android phone, etc. Any tablet such as an iPad, Samsung tablet, kindle, etc.

FORMS: Your therapist should have sent you forms to review, complete, and sign (electronically). Please log into theraplatform (you should have received an email). Be sure you have completed these forms. SET UP ACCOUNT: The system will prompt you to set up a credit card that will be billed for your sessions. PRIVACY: Find a quiet, safe place where no one will overhear your session. We recommend using earbuds or headphones to reduce what is overhead (it also reduces the feedback on your device/the echo that can happen sometimes when people are talking). It is inappropriate to have someone else in the room with you. However, if you would like to bring a loved one into therapy, please discuss this with your therapist prior to the session. QUESTIONS: You are encouraged to bring any questions you have. Sometimes bringing notes to therapy can help you remember your questions or the topics you have for therapy.

Convenience! The number one reason that many people prefer video session over in-person sessions is convivence. Many of us have a full plate, i.e. working full time, going to school, school activities, sports, long commutes, volunteering, and many, many other commitments. It is easy to log in and receive counseling/therapy from the comfort of your own home, office, or vehicle. There are others of us who have difficulty getting around due to disabilities or lack of transportation, so online therapy can be a great fit. If you find that teletherapy is not a good option for you, your therapist will provide referrals for other therapy options.
