How Effective is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy offers effective and efficient support from the convenience of home. Research shows that there is a major shortage of mental health professionals in rural areas but also in large cities where practices may be booked for months on end. Teletherapy is often the more practical, accessible and affordable choice.

For some conditions Teletherapy may not be the treatment of choice, such as in emergency situations, urgent crises, severe mental illness, court-ordered therapy and suicidal ideation. We urge you to contact your local authorities if any of the above apply to you.
