Virtual therapy may sound odd at first.
You remember the strangeness of it all. Suddenly, things you did the same way for years shut down or “went virtual.”
Now, life in a virtual world includes buying groceries through Instacart, visiting Grandpa via Facetime, meeting with staff through Zoom, and having dinner with GrubHub.
But therapy? You may feel some understandable skepticism. After all, those early Zoom meetings weren’t always pretty. (That person from accounting still hasn’t learned how to unmute their mic.)
Online therapy works.
Because Jubilee was born during the pandemic, I got to skip the rushed transition to virtual services and instead hit the ground running as a practice native to telehealth.
I remain dedicated to providing high-quality virtual therapy sessions, serving individuals in New Jersey and Virginia. Everyone deserves access to effective mental health support, no matter where they are.
While I will always love a good in-person session (handing someone the box of tissues before they have to ask for it is my primary love language), telehealth has blown away so many of the old barriers associated with therapy.
Here are some of the best things about telehealth therapy.
Telehealth is convenient.
Finding the time for therapy can be challenging. With online therapy services, you can attend sessions from anywhere. All you need is access to a closed door and an internet connection.
Whether that’s the comfort of your home, the empty conference room at your office, or your (parked) car, eliminating the need for travel saves you precious time and makes scheduling or rescheduling a breeze.
I am incredibly grateful for the difference this virtual option makes for folks facing mobility limitations, compromised immune systems, and any other barriers to leaving home – telehealth brings therapy directly to you.
It’s accessible.
Geography should never have to be a barrier to receiving the support you deserve.
I think back with regret to times when I had little to no good options for referring folks to find step-down care near their homes because there weren’t enough local providers.
