Online Therapy

Yes, research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. We find that the most important factor in successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist, which can be established and maintained powerfully through secure video platforms. Many of our clients find that being in their own comfortable space actually allows them to open up more freely.

Absolutely. While many people associate online therapy with quick fixes or skills-based strategies, our practice is dedicated to deep, insight-oriented care regardless of the medium. We work to uncover long-standing patterns and unconscious dynamics just as we would in a physical office. The depth of our work is determined by our commitment to the therapeutic process rather than the physical location.

Online therapy is often the ideal solution for high achievers, doctors, and executives who have demanding schedules. It eliminates commute time and allows for greater flexibility, making it easier to maintain the consistency required for meaningful therapeutic progress. It also offers an added layer of discretion for professionals who may be concerned about privacy in a waiting room setting.

We take your privacy very seriously and use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for all our sessions. We recommend that you find a private, quiet space where you will not be interrupted or overheard to ensure you feel safe speaking freely. We can also discuss specific privacy concerns you may have during our initial consultation.

While we are based in the Los Angeles area, our online platform allows us to work with clients who are located anywhere in the state where we are licensed. This allows us to provide specialized psychodynamic care to individuals who may not have access to this specific type of depth therapy in their local area.

We typically schedule sessions on a weekly basis at a minimum. We believe that meeting at least once a week is essential for building the trust and momentum necessary for deep, insight-oriented work. In some cases, we may decide together that meeting more frequently would be beneficial for your specific goals.

We operate as an out-of-network practice for all services, including online therapy. This allows us to prioritize your care and privacy without the restrictions often imposed by insurance companies. We can provide you with a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement depending on your specific plan's out-of-network benefits.

We understand that technology can sometimes be unpredictable. If we experience connection issues during a video call, we have protocols in place to switch to a backup method or phone call to ensure our time together is preserved. We will discuss these backup plans during our intake process so we are both prepared.

Yes, online therapy is highly effective for treating burnout, anxiety, and the stress often experienced by high-achieving professionals. By removing the stress of commuting and allowing you to engage in therapy from a comfortable environment, online sessions can actually help lower the barrier to addressing these issues. We focus on understanding the root causes of your anxiety rather than just managing symptoms.

The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with us. During this call, we will discuss what you are looking for, answer any questions you have about our approach, and determine if we are a good fit for your needs. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule an initial intake session to begin our work together.
