Therapy Right Where You Are

** All Therapy Sessions with The Empowering Space are offered virtually through the use of secure online therapy.**

Online counseling or telemental health is traditional therapy using a secure HIPAA complaint video platform. Much like using Skype or FaceTime to communicate with loved ones, online counseling offers the same beneficial convenience and flexibility.

Examples of additional benefits include:

  • You can be in the comfort of your own home or private space. Want to wear your pajamas or cuddle up in a blanket? Go right ahead!
  • Completion of sessions during lunch breaks at work, alleviating the need for additional travel time.
  • Access to a specialist in an area with limited practitioners without having a long commute to get there.
  • Access to counseling if you live in a rural or remote area.
  • No awkward drive together after an intense couples session, you can take an immediate break when we sign off.

All you need is a phone, tablet or computer with a reliable internet connection and a private space.
