Technology Based Services

Virtual therapy is perfect for people today with busy schedules or who prefer to seek services from home! Although, virtual therapy is not the same experience as face-to-face therapy but rather a unique experience of its own that may be helpful to some individuals and not to others.  At Quantum, we believe that on-line therapy is a great to reach individuals that may not normally be seen in the traditional therapy office.  Sometimes discretion is key and the anonymity of these type of mental health services is greatly appreciated.  We have found that oppressed communities, i.e. LGBT+ and SGL, communities of color, and those who identify as female are often in need of services provided in the most sensitive and affirming fashion.  The goal is to reduce stigma and avoid re-traumatization.  Therefore, on-line mental health services can be beneficial for the right person and the right time in their lives. Please read the following advantages and risks to see if online therapy might be right for you.

POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES and BENEFITS OF ONLINE THERAPY ARE:

  • You can engage in therapy even if you are home-bound or live in a remote area.
  • You can have access to an English-speaking therapist even if you live in a foreign country.
  • Depending on availability, you may have access to a Spanish speaking therapist.
  • You can keep the same therapist if you tend to relocate frequently.
  • You can send emails at anytime of the day or night.
  • You will have an automatic written record of the therapy.
  • You can read the therapist's responses as often as is helpful to you.

  • You can choose a single consultation or ongoing therapy.
