Wherever you are right now, office or home, I invite you to look around.  The faces, voices of family, friends, coworkers (or lack thereof); the cacophony of chaos or drowning silence; the clutter, the austerity, all speak to, and remind of why you are seeking therapy, and why you are reading this right  now.

Yet, when you come into a therapist’s office, with its planned serenity, you find that, without all those reminders, you can’t call up the distress that brought you in to begin with. For a number of reasons, supposedly clinical, therapists stopped stepping into their clients’ lives, and lost, I believe a golden opportunity to see their clients in a whole new, and much more relevant light.

When I’ve done online therapy with a client, we don’t need to imagine the multiple triggers in their home and work life; my client is there.  Feeling it, freshly aware of the multiple, conflicting thoughts that get in the way of being most effective and satisfied.  And more able to work fully and accurately to reframe, and make any necessary changes.

 Perhaps, through the demands of a tight schedule, driving cross-town seems an impossibility.  Sadly, your illness itself keeps you from stepping outside of your own home.  Perhaps you’re in an area far from any effective therapist, in the wide rural expanses of Colorado or Texas.

Ultimately, your goal is not to work well in my office, for  one or two hours out of your 24-7 life, but to live your life, every moment of it, as richly and mindfully as possible.
Is there a downside? Absolutely.  In refining our ability to connect more deeply, there is no substitute for being in the same room with another, able to touch, to sense the presence of, and to, in the privacy of a safe setting, explore your more frightening inner terrains.  But not all of us have the luxury of time and geography.  Some of us might even find such contact overwhelming.

Both Colorado and Texas allow online therapy, with the requirement that we meet once initially.  If you’re interested, contact me via phone, skype or facetime, and we can make arrangements to meet discreetly.  Simply go to my contact page, and let’s see if this journey is right for you.
