Why virtual therapy?

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), online therapy may be as helpful as meeting with a therapist in-person. Typically, traditional therapy costs $200 to $250 for a single session. However, there are some face-to-face therapists who offer sliding scale therapy. This means that they will charge you what you can afford, based on your salary. Depending on where you live, it may be difficult to find a therapist who offers sliding scale therapy or one that accepts your health insurance plan. My fee is lower than most because I offer virtual therapy so I have fewer overhead costs and can still provide the same level of care and service.

Does Talk Therapy really work?

There is research that shows that talk therapy can literally change your brain, strengthening the connection between regions of the brain that can help reduce symptoms and support recovery. And a separate study found that talk therapy can work as equally well as antidepressants during the initial treatment of moderate to severe depression.
