"Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most." - Buddha
Deciding to begin therapy or counseling can be an overwhelming thought often accompanied by various stigmas.
Simply Mindful Therapy operates exclusively online to help ease some of the uncomfortable thoughts of accessing mental healthcare.
Let’s face it, we have become a technology driven society.
Access to mental health treatment online has been a game-changer.
So, what are the advantages of using online therapy?
01 — Convenience
One of the biggest factors is convenience. You are able to relax in the comfort of your own home or wherever you choose to be while you talk to a professional. Your session is where you want it to be and wherever you have internet connectivity. You no longer have to worry about driving to your appointment, fighting traffic or being late for sessions. You are able to schedule sessions when it is convenient for you.
02 — Privacy
You will have privacy like no other...you no longer have to worry about who saw you at the therapist’s office. Just think, you could be sipping on your favorite coffee or tea, while on the couch, while in your comfy clothes. This really is the best way to help feel more comfortable while talking about somewhat uncomfortable things.
03 — Mobility
Online therapy also provides mental health treatment for those that are unable to make it to an office. This is especially true for those living in rural areas or those with chronic issues that impact their mobility.
04 — Affordability
You no longer have to worry about taking time off work to be in a session. You also no longer have to use gas money or pay for childcare during appointments. Most insurance companies accept a SuperBill to reimburse you for mental heath sessions and I also have a sliding scale for those that qualify. You also no longer have to worry about and find a therapist/provider in your area that is In-Network with your insurance company.
05 — Relationship
Another advantage is the varieties in ways to communicate with your therapist. Simply Mindful Therapy offers communication during sessions using live video, telephone and chat.
When deciding if online therapy is right for you, you may want to consider whether you have a quiet place to have your session & whether you have internet connectivity as these factors could influence treatment.
