What does a typical session entail?
Every therapy session caters to the unique needs and goals of the client. A therapy hour is usually 45-60 minutes long. During the session you will be asked to talk about yourself, your thoughts and feelings, and any difficulties you are having in relationships, work or school etc. The first session or two is also an assessment period which means that you may be asked questions about things that have occurred in the past in a variety of areas which may not be obviously relevant to the reason you are being seen right now. Typically sessions are scheduled weekly and can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth.
Why Online Therapy?
Online therapy makes getting started easier than ever before. An online telehealth structure eliminates the need for transportation and any travel related costs. It also allows you to attend sessions from where you are most comfortable; meaning you can schedule therapy sessions for times that are more convenient for you. Online access on your terms can also make it easier to overcome the anxiety and stigma historically attached to seeing a therapist. Research continues to show the effectiveness of online therapy. In fact, the American Psychological Association reported that 96% of psychologists see telehealth as an effective treatment (Hames, 2023.) This means if you show up and do the work you can expect results.
If a busy schedule prevents you from being able to go to a counseling office or you prefer the privacy and safety of your own home, then The Therapy Space is the perfect fit for you! The Therapy Space offers telehealth appointments so you can get the care you need right where you are, in your own space.
