we’re gon na trust you to head out there and talk about what you understand and one of the things that I truly wanted to address is the truth that I’m not just here to say that online treatment is the answer for everything you know I think it can be incredibly handy for many people I’ve seen it myself dealing with individuals from a couple of months approximately over a year and I seen how having the ability to message and also have video sessions with somebody is truly a it

almost enhances the the healing experience in such a way at the same time I have a private practice where I see people in person and I thoroughly take pleasure in that and there are people that I see there that I wouldn’t think about seeing online either they wouldn’t be appropriate we would not have the ability to do the level and depth of work we’re doing or it just would not feel comfortable and which’s alright those two things can both be true and I believe one of the important things that I want to start to have individuals think of exists’s a place for both online and offline therapy it is actually a matter of you know deciding what’s right for you however also what’s most proper for you with the help of a professional when I discuss specific therapy designs or methods as being appropriate for you what I indicate by that is that it would be the very best technique for

the particular problem that you’re handling and I believe that one of the issues that a lot of individuals have is that online therapy is trying to replace offline counseling and I can tell you 100% that that’s not true I have actually had lots of discussions with the founder of where he has pointed out that his audience isn’t to compete with physical practices or put psychologists or certified experts out of business his objective is to provide mental health access to the people who aren’t going to come into the treatment workplace and I 100% assistance that mission and I believe it is very important and we have a problem with access
