Research has shown that online therapy is comparable to in-person therapy in terms of effectiveness and quality.

A consent and confidentiality form will be provided to you to review and sign at the first session. All information shared in therapy is confidential except in particular circumstances. These circumstances will be explained to your prior to starting therapy.
