Wellness Based Therapy is happy to offer online therapy (teletherapy) sessions using a HIPAA compliant web-based platform (SimplePractice). If you have ever used Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts or Facebook Messenger for video calls, you know how video calls work and we can schedule a meeting time to see and hear each other via our computers for your therapy sessions. Video therapy is a convenient way for us to meet. Most of the time virtual therapy is much more private and convenient than going to a therapist’s office. With virtual therapy no need to commute, get dressed up, get caught in traffic or be subjected to having to sit in a public waiting room. There are people that live in remote areas that don’t have access to therapists, are homebound due to an accident or injury, don’t own car, drive or have access to public transportation. If you are very unsure and uncomfortable with being seen via the web we can start with phone sessions until you get more comfortable with me. That is always an option. Web based therapy is not always perfect in every situation and if that is the case, I do have a brick and mortar office in Rancho Mirage, California.
Our online therapy platform is easy to use with many features including scheduling, online payment and messaging.
