Many reasons keep you from seeking the help you need.
Feeling how you do is hard enough without exposing yourself to others as you sit in the therapist’s waiting room. You wonder, “What would people think?”
Work, driving kids to and from school, or being home in time for dinner make it impossible to seek the therapy you know you need.
In the current environment of uncertainty about health issues, you want to avoid the risk of exposure.
Taking care of a home-bound loved one makes it difficult to drive to a therapist’s office. Homeschooling is another challenge.
Telehealth offers a solution.
Therapy is sometimes challenging but doing it through telehealth makes it more accessible.
Stepping outside of your comfort zone and expressing fears and desires to someone you met through a computer can feel uncomfortable. But the ability to meet in the comfort of your own space makes the experience feel safer and enjoyable.
Telehealth has changed access to mental health services. This form of therapy accommodates all lifestyles and provides a convenient and unique way to attend therapy that works for you. And in most cases, telehealth offers the same quality of service for those seeking therapy.*
Long gone are the days of taking off work and driving to an appointment. From the comfort of your home or office, you can complete your therapy appointment online in a safe and secure environment.
There are a few requirements to consider.
You will need access to a phone, laptop, or tablet with a webcam. Make sure that you have consistent and reliable Internet service.
In terms of location, you should select an area that is private and free from interruption and overheard by others.
Turn your phone to ‘do not disturb’ and eliminate any other background noise.
Finally, communicate openly and honestly with your therapist about your goals and expectation so they can best help you.
Seek the help you need.
Telehealth eliminates problems associated with seeking in-person therapy.
This form of therapy helps meet your needs on your terms, freeing you from the obligations and concerns that keep you from finding some ME time.
