DISTANCE COUNSELING:

WHY IT WORKS

HAVE THESE BEEN A BARRIER TO HEALING?

Are you ready to work on your concerns but there isn’t a trauma specialist in your area?

Have you met with a therapist but felt that you didn’t “click,” or their approach wasn’t what you were looking for?

Have you done a lot of talk therapy with a counselor in your area, but there are deeper trauma issues you still want to work on?

Have you been thinking of getting specialized support but don’t have the time to travel?

DISTANCE COUNSELING MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE

With distance counseling, you’ll pick a private space that’s convenient for you. You wouldn’t have to adjust to a new space or deal with the commute after your session. You’ll have time to absorb what you’re learning about yourself instead of being distracted by having to catch the train or staying safe on the road. You could be seated on your favorite couch, sipping tea, and you’re no longer in career mode. You’re home. Free to be yourself.

Best of all, you have access to a skilled therapist who has helped guide hundreds of people through healing journeys like the one you’re ready to start.

When your therapist is a trained Telemental Health Counselor, online confidentiality has been thought through. The platform used for sessions complies with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act - because keeping your information private is important.

I’m comfortable helping people through the use of this technology. I know it works, and healing will happen across the distance.

HOW WOULD IT LOOK LIKE?

After your free 30-minute consultation, we’ll schedule the first distance counseling session through a secure platform. You’ll receive important forms that you’ll fill out at home before your first session starts.

Prior to your first session, we’ll have a “check in” for a few minutes to make sure all systems are go. On the scheduled date and time, our session goes ahead. That’s it. No traveling. No gas expense. No mass transit. Just you and me on a secure platform, working on your goals.

DISTANCE COUNSELING IS EFFECTIVE WITH GROUPS,TOO

Imagine talking with people who understand what you’re going through because they’re on a similar road. Imagine knowing, really knowing deep down that you’re not different; that your response to trauma isn’t something unexpected. Imagine that there are people who will get to know you, support you, encourage you, and challenge you to grow. People who will laugh and cry with you.  Imagine getting to know people you’ll grow wiser with. Having a community. And getting all of that from a private place that’s safe and convenient for you.

That’s what you’ll get from distance group sessions.

THERE MAY BE OTHER COUNSELORS AND TRAUMA THERAPISTS NEAR YOU, BUT….

Do they have the skills that come with over 15 years of trauma-focused training and experience?

Do they know how to use EMDR and other trauma-focused techniques through online sessions?

Does their therapeutic persona click with you?

ISN’T IT TIME?

Isn’t it time you took care of your needs as you have been taking care of others? You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Isn’t it time to start letting go of feeling like the past travels with you everywhere?

If you’re waiting for the time you’ll be free from repetitive thoughts that make you feel bad about yourself…

If you want to be free from anxiety and from feeling as if details of the trauma incident jump at you while you’re going through life…

And if you want the kind of caring relationships you know you could have with people in your life, then it’s time to take the first step.

Start now with a free consultation. You deserve to be on your way to healing.
