TELETHERAPY

VIDEO CONFERENCING

I'm known as THE STRESS DOCTOR benefiting individuals and couples, specializing in TRAUMA & RELATIONSHIPS with a MIND/BODY orientation. My practice as a Teletherapist & Coach includes using phone, email and SKYPE. This makes it possible for everyone, regardless of geographic location, to avail themselves of my extensive experience as a practicing New York City Therapist for thirty years.

My clients confide that they feel connected on the phone, even for deep work, as we develop an intimate working relationship where we're both on the same team:  Helping them to grow, heal and be happy as briefly as possible by focusing on SOLUTIONS, to raise self-esteem, repair old wounds, make decisions, and improve their intimate relationships.

Teletherapy requires no travel and saves time and money. I am highly capable of reading vocal intonations and am not distracted by physical movement. I focus on your voice, your tone and your energy, including what you are saying or not saying, responding to your emotions, checking in with your body as well as your mind. This enables me to offer quality psychotherapy in a highly convenient manner, while remaining the caring, competent professional, in as brief a period as possible.

In this shrinking busy world, most of us are as comfortable on the phone as we are face-to-face. I offer a unique interactive approach that supports deep healing through self-acceptance based on the belief that the body/mind already contains the blueprint for well-being. This can be achieved anywhere you are.

Partnering together in a warm, creative, safe technological environment, problems are solved and solutions are found. Employing your own wisdom and tapping into your inner power through reparative experiences, results in Confidence-Building, Trauma Resolution and Relationship Health.

I’ve been told that I have an uncanny ability to understand and help clients to free themselves of what stops them from being who they genuinely are at their core, who they really want to be as individuals, and to find happiness in their relationships with others. Utilizing my solid foundation as a Marriage & Family Therapist with a special interest in Trauma, I employ state of the art mind/body therapeutic methods including EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Therapy, Meditation, Artmaking, Music, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing and more, as a way of reaching the subconscious blocked self, and releasing into your best self.

Interestingly, recent studies have shown that Teletherapy for depression and Couple Therapy is equally effective as office work. The American Psychiatric Association is currently planning a Teletherapy Conference for next year. In response to the efficacy and expansiveness of this method, there is a need to create ground rules to protect consumers. It is known that Teletherapy works. Face-to-Face presence is not required to help you. However, the right professional who is experienced and licensed can help you. I can help.

Until now if you were unable to visit a psychotherapist in their  office, you couldn’t have quality therapy. Now you have more choices. You can have therapy, counseling or coaching sessions over the phone – which is an ideal and convenient place to work from your home or office.

The efficacy rate is equal to that of in-person sessions. If you’ve had phone sessions with me, I’m certain you think so too. Every method that I have employed in person can be successfully utilized by phone, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnosis, Couple Work, Somatic Experiencing.

When I was a young wife and mother in psychotherapy treatment, I broke my ankle in a silly boating accident, ended up with a cast all the way up my leg and crutches for three months. My therapist had recommended telephone sessions. Since then I have been convinced of the success of Teletherapy.

I have discovered an added dimension to Videotherapy.

The device, a camera, makes up the missing  visual ingredient. It can attach to a pc or mac, and often comes pre-installed.

The cost is insignificant. The telephone call is absolutely free over the internet. If you have a computer, it either comes with a built-in camera (camcord) or you can add one.

The free software to download is www.skype.com whether you have a PC or  Apple.

If you need a camera, I recommend Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000, that’s the one I use.

Its sharp clear image and easy installation is a pleasure.
Please contact me if you can't locate one, and I'll be happy to give you my purchase information. It’s a bargain at $31 and comes with a built in mike.

Once you’ve loaded your camera and SKYPE software, just register. Then, practice using your new software, send me an invitation to join your contact list. We then can set up an appointment through email or phone.
I look forward to hearing from you.
