WHY CONSIDER TELEHEALTH?
Telehealth allows psychotherapy to be provided through live video conferencing. This allows me to work with clients anywhere in Vermont, as long as you are physically located in VT at the time of our appointment. Here are some reasons why people may prefer telehealth:
- Time constraints can make traveling to in-person appointments inconvenient.
- In rural areas it may be far to travel to a physical office location
- Some people feel more comfortable seeking services in this manner.
- The privacy of not encountering others in a waiting room.
- Others may simply prefer to do things virtually.
Telehealth psychotherapy is not for everyone. It is generally not well suited for individuals with severe mental health conditions. It may also not be a good option if you have a strong preference for in person contact. Some people find it difficult to feel an interpersonal connection virtually. Others just feel more at ease working with a therapist in person. Still others may lack the privacy needed to participate in virtual sessions.
