Telehealth therapy is the use of technology by a mental health care provider to provide therapeutic care to clients. It creates an avenue for you to have the same experience you would have at your therapist’s office, all from the comfort of your home. Sessions are conducted via a HIPPA compliant video conferencing software. Telehealth therapy increases accessibility and is convenient while ensuring client comfortability. A secure internet connection and a device with video conferencing capabilities are required for telehealth therapy.

Telehealth has many benefits for those who need extra accessibility and prioritize convenience. Groups that might be especially likely to benefit from telehealth include people who live in rural areas with limited access to care or individuals with physical limitations or mobility issues. Whether or not telehealth therapy may be right for your child or family depends on personal needs and preferences. Please note that Telehealth may not be a good fit for every client, such as for individuals with cognitive issues, hearing problems, or attention difficulties. Additionally, individuals experiencing active suicidal or homicidal thoughts and some psychotic symptoms may not be able to be assisted remotely.

The initial intake session is an opportunity for clients and therapists to get to know each other and determine whether a therapeutic relationship could be a good fit. The therapist will meet with parents/guardians and the child and will ask questions about their history, any symptoms, and will diagnose if needed. The child, parents/guardians, and the therapist will work on developing treatment goals for therapy as well as formulating ways to begin working on those goals. This is the opportunity for you to ask any questions regarding your therapist’s style and approach. Sessions following an intake session will focus on improving your child's daily functioning. Occasionally, clients may be asked to complete therapeutic exercises outside of sessions. The work your child and their therapist will do in sessions should translate to their life outside of sessions and directly address the initial concerns that brought them into therapy.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long for individual therapy and are often scheduled weekly or biweekly depending on a child's needs. In the beginning, it is typically recommended to start off with weekly sessions as they will assist the child and therapist with building rapport and will help to keep them accountable and motivated to work towards treatment goals in an efficient way. As therapy progresses, your therapist can work with parents/guardians to determine if weekly sessions will continue to be useful. Some people will find that as they begin to heal and grow, fewer sessions are needed. The frequency of sessions can be adjusted in order to best meet your child's needs and maintain positive change.

Every client’s situation is unique so the length of treatment will vary. Our therapists create most treatment goals with a 6-month timeframe in mind. Some clients will get what they need in 4-5 sessions, whereas other people attend therapy for 6 months to a year or longer. There are many factors that will help determine the length of therapy, including the complexity of the client’s concerns, how much growth and change they want to make, how deeply they would like to explore the issue as well as their commitment to making and maintaining the positive changes. Your child's therapist will work with you in determining the appropriate goal timeframe for therapy.

Yes. The Zen Den Counseling and Wellness offers in person services through our in home or community therapy options only. We do NOT offer office based therapy services. In home or community therapy can occur in homes, schools, and community settings (such as coffee shops or parks for example), as long as safety, privacy and confidentiality are maintained. Your therapist travels to your preferred setting and conducts the session there. In home or community-based therapy is a great solution to many of the barriers which often prevent clients from accessing services such as lack of transportation or mobility issues. Additionally, by observing clients in their homes or natural community settings, therapists can gain environmental insight very quickly to help guide treatment.
