How does virtual therapy compare to in-person therapy?

Over the last several years, multiple large studies have shown that virtual therapy is as effective and, at times, more effective than traditional, in-person therapy. However, therapy is a personal experience, and one treatment can’t fit everyone’s needs. Some people may find a screen distracting and in-person communication more comforting, while others may not even notice, or find it easier to express themselves with some separation from the counsellor. The comfort and convenience of connecting with a counsellor from your own home are also unique to virtual therapy.

There are also important non-therapeutic benefits to our service such as easy accessibility, lower cost, and the ability to connect with specialized mental health counsellors who might not be available in your area.

The initial free consultation is an opportunity to familiarize yourself with our platform before committing to paid appointments, while also allowing you to determine if you feel your counsellor is a good fit for you. Once you have found the right counsellor for you, you are free to determine how many appointments you wish to complete, without any restrictions to the number of appointments completed.
