At Renewed Vision we practice from an approach that considers individuals as ever evolving beings that are whole and are not broken. We utilize a variety of interventions based on the individual seeking services. We have experience in Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing  (EMDR).

At your first therapy session, we get to know you. We’ll discuss the reasons you came to therapy and what we can do to help. We will get an overview of who you are so we can better understand your current concerns. Then, we’ll discuss what treatment will be like for you and decide plans for ongoing treatment together. This is also a time where you can determine if you feel comfortable with us. If you don’t feel we’re a good fit, we can help you find someone who might be a better match.

This will largely depend on what service you are receiving. Some services can be done in one session. For example, certain evaluations.

Other services may be longer, based on the severity of the challenge that has brought you to our counseling practice.

Teletherapy is any remote therapy that uses technology to help the therapist and client communicate. Some examples of teletherapy include:

• doing therapy sessions over the phone
• using videoconferencing for individual, couples, or group therapy
• receiving therapy via email

You may have heard the words: telehealth, telemedicine, online counseling or online therapy used to describe web-based counseling sessions that utilize video conferencing platforms to conduct the actual therapy session.

We use HIPPA compliant platforms to bring you the best services. This allows you to access services from the comfort of your home, work, etc. without the hassle of commuting or coming into an office.

Don’t worry, telehealth is just as effective as in person therapy so there is no compromise to the services that you will receive. 

Teletherapy is not for everyone. Some drawbacks include:

• Protecting Health Information: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires healthcare providers, including therapists, to protect patient or client privacy. Unsecure chat and other programs may expose sensitive data, so clients should work only with therapists who encrypt data.
• Therapy environment: For people with little privacy at home, finding the time and space for therapy can be difficult. Treatment in the office may offer a low stress alternative to treatment at home.
• Technical difficulties: Slow internet connections, glitches in video software, and communication delays can make online therapy feel more stressful and less personal. For people who lack technological proficiency or do not trust digital platforms, telehealth may not be a good option.
• Communication: Communicating across certain platforms can make it more difficult to read body language and other subtle cues. Email and phone therapy eliminate these forms of communication all together.
