Teletherapy: Your Path to Mental Wellness

Understanding Teletherapy/Online Therapy:

Teletherapy, video therapy, or online therapy offers a convenient and effective way to access therapy remotely. Conducted via computer, smartphone, tablet, or phone call, teletherapy provides a secure platform for therapy sessions. Research indicates its effectiveness is comparable to in-person therapy. At Wellspring, our diverse team of experienced and licensed therapists can partner with you to develop a productive and flexible approach tailored to achieve your goals.

Benefits of Teletherapy:

  • Convenient access from the comfort of your home
  • Flexible scheduling options

Effective Teletherapy for Teens:

Teens often find comfort and enjoyment in online therapy formats. Our therapists specialize in connecting with teens to address self-esteem issues, stress, anxiety, and depression. We focus on developing coping strategies and empowering clear communication skills in a supportive environment.

Child-Focused Teletherapy:

Our therapists employ creative methods to keep children engaged in online therapy sessions. We utilize art, workbooks, movement activities, relaxation exercises, and games to tailor sessions to each child’s unique needs. Parent involvement is often integral to the process, with initial meetings to understand issues and set treatment goals.

Ensuring Confidentiality:

We prioritize confidentiality using HIPAA-compliant and secure technology. Our therapists work with you to identify a private location within your home for sessions, ensuring privacy. We also assist with technology to simplify the process.

  • Use of end-to-end encryption for all video sessions
  • Strict adherence to ethical guidelines and professional standards

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) via Teletherapy:

PCIT, an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems, focuses on improving the parent-child relationship and providing parents with effective discipline strategies. Our therapists use innovative approaches to coach parents in real time during online sessions, helping them practice new skills with their children. This teletherapy adaptation of PCIT has been shown to be as effective as in-person PCIT, making it a convenient option for families seeking to improve their dynamics and address child behavior concerns.

Adapting to Privacy Challenges:

We understand the difficulty of finding privacy with increased family presence at home. Our therapists accommodate by adjusting schedules or exploring alternative locations like cars, walks, or backyards to ensure session privacy.
