Online Therapy

Teletherapy

A completely secure and HIPAA compliant software that gives me the ability to provide quality Faith-Based online counseling and to be able to interact with you the client from virtually anywhere. (It’s as easy as using Skype !)


  • Teletherapy minimizes the inconvenience of travel time and associated costs. I wanted to ease the stress that clients often experience just traveling to my office for treatment. Things like snow, rain, traffic, getting childcare, finding parking, etc. make traveling even short distances annoying. Teletherapy appointments minimize the inconvenience of travel time and associated costs.
  • The benefits of Teletherapy  are supported by research. Research has found that video therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. And thanks to a highly secure connection, our sessions will remain private.
  • Most major insurance companies cover Teletherapy appointments. If you’re interested in pursuing this option, let me know and we can investigate whether you’re eligible for coverage.


Telehealth requires no special software or technical skills. All you need is a computer (with an integrated camera). It’s as simple as that.


Safe, Secure  & Convenient

Advantages of Online Therapy
Let’s explore some of the biggest advantages of online therapy.

A Good Option for Remote Areas

Online therapy offers access to mental health information to people in rural or remote areas. Those who live in such areas simply might not have access to any other form of mental health treatment because there are no mental health practices in their geographic area. E-therapy gives these individuals access to treatment that they might not have otherwise.

Accessibility for Those With Physical Limitations

Online therapy provides accessibility to individuals who are disabled or housebound. Mobility can be a big issue when it comes to accessing mental health care. Individuals who are unable to leave their homes for various reasons, such as physical or mental illness, may find online therapy a useful alternative to traditional psychotherapy settings.

Convenience and Affordability

Online therapy is usually fairly affordable and convenient. Since you will be attending therapy sessions online in the comfort of your own home, you can often schedule your therapy sessions for times that are the most convenient for you.

Today, many states require insurance providers to cover online therapy just as they would traditional therapy sessions. Contact your insurance company to learn more about e-therapy treatments that will be covered by your policy. Online therapists often offer affordable treatment options for those who are not covered by health insurance.


Online Therapy Makes Information More Accessible

The Internet makes mental health information more accessible. People may feel comfortable talking to friends and family about health care issues but may not feel the same discussing mental health concerns.

Person Centered Services

Putting You and Your Family First

We believe in providing services which focus on prevention and growth through prayer, education, training, and consultation.


Family Therapy


The word “family” is defined as a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household. It may also consist of extended and/or non-blood related family. However, what is important to recognize is that this group consists of many different personalities, beliefs, and experiences. With these differences, you may find yourself in crisis situations that require outside support. When challenges arise, family therapists provide a safe space to explore the differences and build new connections. It's my belief that the family is foundation of society , and when a strong foundation is laid our society and communities can and will began to flourish and grow.
