Telehealth is for you too!
The choice to be exclusively Virtual was intentional.
While talking across a digital interface can take some time getting used to, after just a few sessions the online aspect fades into the background and has little influence on the actual counseling process.
Some of the reasons why telehealth may be a good fit for you, could include:
Transportation
including access, costs for transit and/or parking, vehicle dependability
Caregiver responsibilities
including pets, eldercare, childcare, and partner care
Accessibility
including physical limitations, mental health limitations
Convenience
available when you are available—even during lunch hour
Weather
weather is either unpredictable or epic—who wants to commute
Work/Life balance
asking for time off work can be difficult
Comfort
who doesn't want to have therapy in slippers and a dog in our lap
Privacy
no waiting room encounters
Connection
form a closer relationship by seeing aspects of your life not visible in an office
Why Telehealth Anyway?
Duball Counseling & Wellness offers telehealth therapy to meet the modern needs of today.
Frequently, feedback was received from clients that time was tight and they had to cancel for various reasons – not feeling well, moving, weather, working late. Although these reasons are valid, they interfered with treatment… and clients knew it. Hence, shifting the therapy office to their home made therapy portable, accessible, confidential, and comfortable. In turn, clients often report feeling more at ease, less stressed, and more apt to open up and, in turn, therapy is more effective.
When Telehealth May Not Be Appropriate
Despite the benefits of utilizing tele-health, there are certain situations when tele-health may not be appropriate. These include:
Those with poor internet connection
Complex mental health diagnoses; i.e., visual and/or auditory hallucinations, recent suicidal or homicidal thoughts
Those with a lack of privacy
