Telehealth Is Much More Than the Name Implies
My name is Nolan. I'm the ACRS website developer. More importantly I'm "one of you" because I was suffering from trauma that resulted from losing my wife to cancer. I just want to share a few thoughts with you about my experience with Telehealth.
The term Telehealth doesn't do this mode or treatment justice because it implies "telephone". With today's incredible audio and visual multimedia capabilities and reliable high-speed Internet, you are there... essentially In-Person and face-to-face.
Here's why I recommend Telehealth Trauma-Informed Trauma Counseling if you're in Pittsburgh:
You don't need anxiety from being in traffic or public transportation to get to your appointment.
You spend less or no time preparing for your appointment.
There's no time wasted waiting at your therapist's office because you know you try to get there early so you don't miss it.
You're in the comfortable surroundings of your own home with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa while getting the help you need to feel better.
It was much easier for me to express my emotions from the comfort, familiarity, and privacy of my home.
You get to choose from the best Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Pennsylvania.
Finally, and most crucially, my therapy helped me reach a point where I can constructively and happily move forward with my life.
I think you should give Online Telehealth a try because it's more convenient, time-saving, and it works.
