Session Format

Meeting in a way that meets your needs

Teletherapy (Virtual Therapy)

Teletherapy provides professional, compassionate care through secure video sessions, allowing you to meet with your therapist wherever you feel most comfortable. For many clients, meeting virtually makes therapy more accessible, flexible, and easier to fit into a busy life. It can be especially helpful for those with demanding schedules, mobility challenges, or who simply feel more at ease in their own space. Virtual sessions allow you to receive consistent, supportive care without the stress of commuting, making it easier to show up, stay engaged, and continue moving forward.

In-Office Therapy

You may choose in-office therapy if being in a calm, dedicated space helps you feel more present and grounded. Sitting in the same room as your therapist allows for subtle connection through body language, tone, and shared energy, which can make conversations feel more natural and supportive. Being away from daily distractions also gives you space to focus fully on yourself and what you’re working through. If you value routine, structure, and face-to-face connection, in-office therapy can offer a powerful setting for meaningful growth.
