Telehealth counseling anywhere in Oregon
Not everyone can get to an office every week. I offer secure video sessions for clients anywhere in Oregon, so distance, work schedules and school runs do not have to stand in the way.
Who telehealth suits
- Teens, who often find it easier to open up from their own space
- Adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief or life transitions
- Parents, for parent sessions that fit around work and family life
- Parents and teens in families who have moved countries, anywhere in Oregon
- Anyone who lives too far from my office for weekly visits
When the playroom is better
For children aged 3 to 12, play therapy works best in person. The playroom, the toys and the sand tray are how younger children communicate, and a screen cannot fully replace that. For children in that age range, we usually meet in person at my office near Tigard and use telehealth for parent sessions.
How sessions work
Sessions happen on a secure video platform, and you receive a link before each appointment. You need a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a reliable connection, and a private place where you will not be overheard. Sessions are the same length as office sessions.
Privacy
I use a platform designed for confidential health care sessions. On your side, a closed door and headphones make a big difference. If privacy at home is hard, some clients use a parked car or a quiet room at work.
Oregon only
Telehealth sessions are for clients who are physically in Oregon at the time of each session, because that is where I am licensed. If you are traveling out of state, we can reschedule or meet when you return.
Frequently asked questions
Does telehealth work as well as coming in person?
For many teens and adults, telehealth works well, and it saves the drive. It is not right for everyone or every situation. If it is not working for you, we can talk about meeting in person at my office near Tigard.
Can my child do telehealth?
Teens often can. Children aged 3 to 12 usually do best in person in the playroom, where play is the language. I offer telehealth for parent sessions at any age.
What do I need for a session?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a private space. I will send you a link before each appointment.
Can I have a session while I am traveling?
Only while you are in Oregon, because that is where I am licensed. If you will be away, we can reschedule.
