TELETHERAPY IN NEW YORK

I provide psychotherapy services at my offices in Astoria, Queens and NYC, NY as well as virtual counseling sessions through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth website that ensures therapy sessions are easily accessible, private and confidential for virtual therapy users around the world. It is not necessary to be tech savvy to navigate the webpage or start your online therapy in New York.

Online counseling is the new frontier in the field of mental health services. With the advance of technology and internet services, the access to psychotherapy is now available anywhere, anytime. You just need a computer, cell phone or tablet as well as an internet connection at the time of your online session.

Advantages and Benefits

Teletherapy is mostly happening in the comfort of your own home or office. Patients do not need to commute, stress out looking for parking around my office or deal with extreme weather conditions. Teletherapy in New York offers flexibility, readiness and effective support anytime to those who have a busy schedule and people struggling with very demanding family or work responsibilities as well as sick people who cannot move from their homes.

My experience has shown that cancer patients, busy moms, college students and overachieving executives are the ones who get the most out of online therapy.

Teletherapy in New York and on-site sessions aim both to be a safe space to treat the same psychological symptoms, relationships problems or emotional issues; however, they are also very different and not everybody is a candidate for teletherapy. Some patients need the real presence of the therapist and to be able to put their body in the place where the session takes place, either in individual therapy or couple counseling. On the other hand, some other patients need the readiness that online counseling offers due to complex life circumstances.

Modalities and Consultation

Currently, I render individual therapy and couples therapy online to NY state residents as well as performing immigration evaluations (Extreme hardship, Asylum, U Visa, VAWA).

People located outside the U.S. can also benefit from my psychotherapy services. Please send me a message or call me to add a convenient consultation appointment to your schedule.

Update: Due to this time of quarantine and social distance, I am working with sliding scale fees and providing a free 15-minute phone consultation to those who are feeling stressed out, overwhelmed or anxious in relation to Coronavirus, changes in their routine and feelings of uncertainty.

Phone Sessions & Inquiries

I offer tele-therapy and phone sessions for specific cases.

FAQs about Teletherapy

Teletherapy, also referred to as online therapy or telehealth, is a modern form of mental health counseling that utilizes video conferencing or secure communication platforms.

Numerous studies have demonstrated positive outcomes and patient satisfaction with teletherapy services.

To participate in teletherapy, you’ll need a reliable internet connection, a computer or smartphone with a webcam and microphone, and a private, quiet space where you can talk openly without distractions.

In your initial teletherapy session, my primary focus will be on getting to know you better, building a strong therapeutic relationship, and understanding your concerns and unique experiences. We will discuss your treatment goals and explore what you hope to achieve through therapy.

Teletherapy sessions are confidential, just like in-person therapy. Your sessions will not be recorded or stored, ensuring that your privacy is protected.

I have a cancellation policy in place for all my services to ensure that clients receive the support they need and to optimize my availability. I request at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. If you fail to provide proper notice or miss a scheduled session, you will be responsible for the payment of your session. I understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances may arise, and I will handle such situations with understanding and flexibility.
