Within the past few weeks, so many of our realities have entirely changed. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are working from home and choosing to practice social distancing. This new realm may have interfered with your weekly or biweekly therapy sessions. For others, you may be finding yourself struggling with new or familiar troublesome thoughts, feelings, and memories.
Right now may be a time when you are looking for support.
Right now is when video and telephone therapy are great options
to explore.
Some of the benefits of video and telephone therapy include:
Accessibility
ideo and telephone therapy is easily accessible to everyone that has a phone, computer, or tablet and an internet connection.
Comfort
Flexibility
There is more flexibility in terms of scheduling your sessions
Consistency
These sessions work much in the same way that face-to-face meetings do. If you are used to coming into your therapist’s office, there will be minimal difference when switching to video or telephone sessions.
Clinicians at CFIR are offering secure video and teletherapy sessions during this time, to ensure continuity of care. Reach out if you would like to have safe, confidential therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home.
