Virtual Therapy

Virtual therapy (sometimes called online counseling or telehealth therapy) is simply psychotherapy delivered through a private, HIPAA‑compliant video platform. You and your therapist meet in real time, see one another face‑to‑face, and work toward your goals exactly as you would in our Lakeview office—only without the commute. For some, the familiarity of your own environment can even boost comfort and transparency during sessions.

We’ll verify your benefits and estimate out‑of‑pocket costs before your first appointment.

We use end‑to‑end encryption and a HIPAA‑compliant platform. No sessions are recorded.
