About Teletherapy Sessions:
In-person sessions have always been the norm at Thrive Health & Wellness, but to accommodate the pandemic and reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, we are currently offering teletherapy sessions. These can be conducted via HIPAA-compliant video counseling sessions or phone counseling sessions. This allows us to maintain connection, even in situations where in-person sessions are potentially unsafe or not possible. EMDR therapy can be provided via video counseling sessions, and traditional talk therapy can be conducted via video or phone sessions. We strive to make these teletherapy counseling sessions feel as much like an in-person session as possible, providing the same level of professionalism as sessions that are physically at the Thrive Health & Wellness office.
Dr. Giargiari has an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology, which allows her to provide teletherapy to residents of states participating in PSYPACT. You can find a map pf those states here.
About Phone Counseling Sessions:
Although EMDR therapy sessions can’t be conducted via phone, talk therapy sessions can be provided this way. These sorts of sessions can help you to process stress, manage anxiety, improve coping skills, manage grief, and sort through relationship challenges from the comfort of your home or office. If you are new to counseling at Thrive Health & Wellness, it is encouraged to have at least one video counseling therapy session to start the process and build connection; if this does not align with your preference, please discuss it with your therapist when scheduling your first appointment.
About Video Counseling Sessions:
Video counseling sessions are conducted using a HIPAA-compliant video platform to provide the option of secure online counseling sessions. Video counseling can also allow for screen sharing as part of HeartMath training for stress management or stopping emotional eating or for other uses of the HeartMath tools. EMDR therapy and/or traditional talk therapy can also be conducted via video counseling sessions. It is the goal to make these sessions feel as much like an in-person session as possible, providing the same level of professionalism and interpersonal connection as sessions that are conducted in-person in the Thrive Health & Wellness office. Please ask about any concerns you have about using this format so that you can proceed with your therapy with confidence and trust in the process.
Contact us today to schedule a free telephone consultation. Sessions are available a la carte or as part of our Prenatal Wellness and Childbearing Year packages. Depending on your insurance policy, your goals, and your treatment plan, your sessions may be eligible for health insurance reimbursement.
