HIPAA-compliant video
Anywhere in California
Daytime & evening times
Getting started takes just a few steps, and we’ll guide you through each one.
Call (840) 262-5824 or use our contact form. We'll talk briefly about what you're looking for and answer your questions.
We'll help you check your coverage with Aetna, Blue Shield of California, UnitedHealthcare/Optum or Magellan, or talk through private pay.
Before your first session, you'll fill out intake forms through a secure client portal.
At your appointment time, open the secure link we send you and meet your therapist by video.
You need to be physically located in California during each session, because our therapists are licensed in California.
About 50 minutes
Secure video
An online session works much like meeting in an office. Sessions last about 50 minutes. Your therapist will listen, ask questions and work with you on the goals you set together.
In your first session, you’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your background and what you’d like to change. Later sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills and making progress at a pace that feels right for you.
If your connection drops, don’t worry. Rejoin using the same secure link.
Save travel time and fit sessions around work, school or family.
Many people find it easier to open up in a familiar space.
Appointments that work with busy schedules.
Access licensed care even if no therapist is nearby.
No waiting room, and you meet on a secure video platform.
The same training and approach as in-office therapy.
Research has found video therapy to be effective for common concerns such as anxiety, depression and trauma. You can read more about telehealth on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services telehealth site.
Online therapy isn’t just for one person. Here’s how it works when more people join.
Partners can join from the same room or from separate locations, as long as both are in California during the session.
Families can join together from one room or from separate locations, as long as everyone is in California during the session.
Teens meet by video from a private space. A parent or guardian is usually involved in getting started.
We also offer online anxiety therapy, depression therapy, trauma and PTSD therapy and individual therapy.
What you share in therapy stays private. Sessions take place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. There are a few legal exceptions, such as a serious risk of harm, and your therapist will explain these in your first session. You can read more in our Privacy Policy. Online therapy works well for many people, but it isn't the right fit for everyone. If you need emergency support or a higher level of care, your therapist will help you find the right next step.
