3 Reasons to Consider Telehealth for Therapy

While we learn to navigate the new and ongoing changes to our lives, it is important that we continue to care for ourselves.  Now, and even before 2020, there are a couple things that can make going to therapy more difficult. Telehealth is one solution to many of these obstacles that made seeking therapy inaccessible to so many. For many, there are physical (and even emotional!) limitations preventing them from seeking help. My goal is to help you get past life’s obstacles and help you to be the best version of yourself.

Even if you can find the extra time in your day for therapy, often finding the time for commuting, child care, etc is just out of reach. Luckily, telehealth comes to you. Whether you are getting back into the world on vacation or stuck at home with a cold, you will still be able to commit to bettering your mental health. The accessibility of Telehealth will help accommodate your schedule, and make sure there’s always time for therapy.

Finding a therapist is hard. Beside the physical obstacles, you need to find someone you can connect with. And even if you do connect, they must be qualified to provide the care you need. Telehealth broadens your opportunity to find a therapist that can help you. You are not limited to the therapist in your area and can find someone you connect with regardless of location. 

Affordable and accessible therapy should be available to everyone. If you find yourself debating if you can afford therapy, it is important to reduce the cost as much as possible. No transportation cost, no added childcare costs, telehealth can give you access to care you previously couldn’t afford.
