Teletherapy is Accessible.

There have always been barriers to accessibility with in-person therapy.

We have all been there: waiting in traffic (in your own car or public transportation), juggling a hectic schedule, non-ADA/trans safe offices/bathrooms, forgetting an appointment completely, etc.

In-person therapy used to be the only option, it was also inconvenient and the commute could even worsen symptoms. Read more about the benefits of teletherapy here.

Teletherapy is Here to Stay.

As the pandemic progressed in 2020, online therapy became the only safe option, while clients dealt with increased anxiety, depression, activated trauma and stress.
