Teletherapy Makes Therapy Easier

You want to begin therapy, but it may not be as easy as it sounds. Perhaps you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or San Diego and you don’t have time to sit in traffic for an hour (each way) trying to get to an appointment.

Or, maybe you may live in a small town on the North Coast or Central Valley with fewer mental health resources and you don’t have a lot of choices when it comes to mental health services. Perhaps you are just more comfortable attending therapy from the comfort of your own office or home.

An online psychologist may be what you’re looking for.

You want high-quality, specialized counseling services. However, you also need therapy that fits with your lifestyle. I understand. Online therapy services at Well Woman Psychology may be the answer you’ve been looking for. I am a kind, nonjudgemental online psychologist who specializes in various areas such as body image issues, sex therapy, and trauma. Through the use of a secure video chat, I’m able to offer you effective mental health services without the hassle of coming into an office.

What are the benefits of online therapy in California?

Teletherapy saves you time. You don’t have to worry about driving to therapy in San Diego traffic (or other traffic) during rush hour. Instead, you can pull up my secure platform on your computer, tablet, or smartphone and join your session from the comfort of your surroundings.

Here are some other benefits of online therapy:

Convenience. In addition to the added comfort of choosing where you’d like to attend your online therapy session, it is convenient. Allowing you to have a more flexible schedule, since there is no office waiting periods or commutes involved.

Access. Since you don’t have a commute, you are free to see a skilled online therapist anywhere in your state. You may live in Oakland or the Silicon Valley, but I can see you from my office in Los Angeles. If you are looking for a therapist with specific expertise, online therapy can also help you find one.

Effectiveness. Teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. The same amount of work and energy will need to be put into it, but it WORKS. You and I will still create a therapeutic bond of mutual trust and understanding.

Online Therapy for Body Image

We only get one body and one life. So it’s important to be as good to our bodies as we can. Everyone should treat their bodies with the same respect we’d show a friend and to not let shame and fear interfere with living our best lives. Therapy for body image can help you learn to build a peaceful relationship with your body, but it is a long journey of learning and unlearning. As an online body image therapist, I use the Health at Every Size® approach to work with clients of all shapes and sizes, which helps move them toward a more peaceful relationship with their bodies. Combining this with the lenses of trauma-informed care, fat liberation, Body Trust®, intuitive eating, and a non-diet approach. I offer weight-neutral and weight-inclusive care to anyone in the state of California.

 

Online Sex Therapy in California

Although it can be difficult to talk about issues related to sex, therapy is ideally positioned to help. Struggling with sexuality is common. Most sexual problems are simply manifestations of other issues that show up in the bedroom. Women, in particular, are often under so much pressure to be ‘sexually desirable,’ while actual female desire is criticized or considered an afterthought. I use effective, compassionate strategies applied to your sexual concerns. (This never includes touch and must always align with your personal values.) Everyone deserves pleasurable, affirming, intimate sexual experiences. Online sex therapy makes it more accessible.

 

Teletherapy for Trauma & PTSD

PTSD and trauma are serious public health issues, and they can derive from any situation that is emotionally or physically threatening. Additionally, it can develop from witnessing something terrible. Such is common with many first responders, parents who care for a child in the NICU, or children who see violence in the home. Trauma also disproportionately impacts women. My work as an online therapist empowers clients to realize the impact of interpersonal trauma, which is all too common. Together in teletherapy, we will figure out the best strategies to suit your specific and unique needs. It takes a lot of courage to face your trauma, but healing is possible.

Online EMDR Therapy in California

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been extensively researched and proven to be an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD. It has also been shown to be helpful for a wide range of problems. It works by stimulating the brain in such a way that the trauma memory can be finally, entirely processed. EMDR is particularly helpful for those frustrating times when you know something is true but it doesn’t feel true. At Well Woman Psychology we have seen it very useful for clients who have a hard time mentally getting out of their own way. It is different from other trauma therapies because it does not require you to talk about your trauma in detail.

 

Teletherapy for Individual Relationships

Everyone comes to their relationships with different modeling and different experiences. Sometimes our pasts make trust and vulnerability very difficult. Standing up for ourselves, setting boundaries, or sharing your feelings can feel paralyzing. Whether you are looking to create stronger boundaries, better deal with conflict, be more open and authentic in your relationships, or something else, individual relationship therapy can be beneficial. I help clients improve their ability to effectively manage relationships in a way that feels healthy and satisfying, where each person feels appreciated, respected, and supported. This includes romantic relationships, family relationships, work relationships, and friendships.

Online Therapy for Infertility & Assisted Reproductive Technology in California

There are numerous causes of infertility, but the truth is sometimes a cause can’t be pinpointed. Thankfully, science can help many aspiring parents create the family they want with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART includes freezing eggs, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), use of donor eggs and/or sperm, and utilizing a surrogate. But, it is a difficult process. Infertility counseling provides support to those experiencing infertility and helps prepare them for ART. With the added anxiety, depression, and overwhelm associated with infertility, counseling aims to evaluate and develop plans tailored to a person’s specific challenges.

Teletherapy for Pregnancy and New Moms

Pregnancy is a beautiful, special time but also a challenging one. It is a rollercoaster ride and a condition of elevated risk for women in terms of mental health. Hormones run wild, your body changes every day, and emotions are often charged. 15-20% of new mothers experience postpartum mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Many moms feel shame about these difficulties and may blame themselves or think they should not be a parent. You deserve compassionate, nonjudgemental support from an online psychologist who is familiar with the challenges of pregnancy and being a new mom.

Online Therapy for Pregnancy Loss and Miscarriage

Losing a baby in pregnancy is one of the hardest things a woman can experience, whether it happens a few weeks into gestation or because of a complication during birth. It is traumatic and painful. 1 in 8 pregnancies end in loss, yet women rarely talk about it openly. Instead, they often hide their pain and just try to trudge forward. Therapy for pregnancy loss and miscarriage can help you grieve in a healthy way, at your own pace, and help you make meaning of this senseless loss. I’ll assist you in learning how to talk about the loss with your partner or support person. Well Woman Psychology, will always provide a safe space for you to air ALL of your most vulnerable, tender feelings. I am here to give you the support you need so you can heal and move forward.

Does Online Therapy Really Work?

Yes! Online therapy really works. Research shows that meeting with an online therapist is just as effective as meeting in person. Yet it is also more accessible and convenient, which allows clients to participate in therapy where they feel most comfortable. I learn a lot about clients’ emotional states by watching their facial expressions, which I can do in teletherapy as easily as I can in person.
