Instant Messaging Therapy

Like video chat sessions, instant messaging therapy takes place in real time. You and I are exchanging instant messages, similar to text messages, usually for the length of time of a normal session. All of your messaging is done through a HIPPA compliant messaging source, thus your confidentiality is a priority. We decide prior to our instant messaging exchange what time we are going to start and end exchanging messages. For someone who would like to be visually anonymous while receiving the benefits of psychotherapy in real time, and has access to technology for text messaging or another form of instant messaging this might be a good option.

The beauty of an instant messaging session is that you can decide if you would like to schedule a 30 minute session or a 50 minute session. Please also, when scheduling, leave room for any technical challenges if this is your first session.

If you are wanting more information or are wanting to begin counseling please feel free to go to the Contact and Scheduling page on this website. You are also welcome to call me at 818-591-8669 with any questions you may have or to schedule to an appointment.
