In-person vs telehealth

There’s no “better” option, just what works for you.

In this guide

The short version

  • In person can feel grounding, and suits some therapy types, like play therapy or trauma work.
  • Telehealth gives you flexibility, with private, secure sessions and no travel.
  • Many clients start with one format and switch later, and that’s totally fine.

We offer both in-person and online therapy, and there’s no “better” option, just what works for you.

In-person therapy

Seeing your psychologist face-to-face in one of our calm, thoughtfully designed spaces can offer a sense of grounding. Some clients find it easier to be present, tune into body language, and create routine around their mental health care. In-person can also be ideal for certain therapy types, like play therapy or trauma work.

Telehealth therapy

Accessing therapy from home gives you more flexibility. For people with busy schedules, health conditions or childcare to juggle, telehealth can make therapy easier to fit in. Sessions are private and secure, and there’s no travel.

Tips for a good telehealth session

  • Use headphones for privacy and better audio
  • Choose a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted
  • Log on a few minutes early so you have time to settle in
Many of our clients start with one format and switch later, and that’s totally fine. We’ll meet you where you’re at, literally and emotionally.
