In a world defined by the hustle, every minute is accounted for. We rush to work with coffee and breakfast in hand, schedule lunch around meetings, and spend our evenings running errands, feeding our families, and trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour– only to do it all over again the next day. With a schedule this packed, where is there time for therapy?
This is where telehealth comes in. Telehealth is virtual therapy from any device from the comfort of your own space, when you want (or better yet, when you can).
The pandemic forced therapy, like so much else, to be virtual. As we continue to emerge into a post-mandate world, there is an understandable need to re-engage in real-time, in-person connection. But not everyone has the resources needed to commit to in-person therapy and everyone deserves access to mental health support.
What are the benefits of telehealth?
- It’s convenient and saves time and money with no commute. Plus it can be done from anywhere that is private and comfortable with an internet connection.
- It's accessible, especially for those who live in more rural areas or are unable to drive.
- It's flexible for those with busy schedules and lifestyles.
- It offers more autonomy to choose a therapist that is right for you.
It should also be noted that there have been many studies showing that virtual therapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
Not only does telehealth offer convenience, accessibility, flexibility and autonomy but nearly all therapy modalities can be offered via telehealth. A few examples being:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and other forms of Trauma-Focused Therapy
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- And so many more
