Teletherapy for Taos, NM
Perhaps you knew what you wanted life to be, but now dreaming of something better is a foreign idea. You’ve been successful yet still feel unfulfilled. Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Maybe you know you’d be happier if you made changes but you don't have the time. Your life isn't really all that bad and you think you should be grateful for all you have. Instead you're just a tad disgusted with yourself. On top of that, if you're in a relationship, you just want out of it and into something new, but the idea of hurting your partner in the process keeps you from doing something different.

I feel passionate about helping people to work through what they feel is holding them back from being their most authentic selves. I freely utilize Yogic breathwork & movement in a session to help center and bring a person into and feel their body. Then the true work of healing and freeing can begin to happen. I see any addiction as merely an indicator of something else that needs some attention and healing. When the body is allowed to release the trauma, then the desire for other 'medicines' is diminished. And when we can aid our nervous system in this way, day by day, our mind and emotions also begin to heal. Freedom.

New to therapy? Starting therapy can be intimidating and scary when you don't know what to expect. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and anxious. If you've ever felt isolated, unsure about how to even start talking about what is going on, worried about being judged, or getting stuck with the family curse, therapy can help. We can work together to provide a safe space for you to try new ideas in a safe space, gain a better understanding of what you are feeling, along with learning new skills and habits that increase your confidence and belief that you can get through the hard stuff.

Are you someone who struggles with constantly feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed? Do people you love often comment that you're "too much?....too overwhelming...or that you over-react to everything?" What you're experiencing is actually common and CAN be changed. But you don't need to "fix" yourself....because you're not broken. But for whatever reason, what you're doing and how you're living right now isn't working, and maybe a therapist, unlike family and friends, can lend a neutral eye and ear to assist you in the growth to get you to the best version of yourself. Not someone you want to be, someone you CAN be.

Are you transitioning and experiencing a change of life, maybe a change in identity? Perhaps what used to be meaningful to you, isn't anymore, and you're in an existential quandary. People who lead meaningful lives ask themselves tough questions in order to find authenticity. Perhaps you have an erotic concern? This can happen at any age. We all have to learn to cope with the circumstances we find ourselves in, and that's been a common thread in the work I do.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
