Since Covid began, the majority of couples sessions conducted by our group have been on-line.

Even though it is hard to believe, the surprising discovery has been that it works GREAT for couples because:

• Even though the therapist is remote, the couple is NOT remote from each other. This allows the partners to experience the subtleties of body language and physical presence to rebuild the couple's bond.
  

• Because the therapist is slightly removed (on the screen), the couple can receive guidance and direction from the therapist but the therapist's presence is less intrusive and less likely to interfere with the growing connection between the partners, which is the ultimate goal.
  

• It allows access to specialized therapists and coaches that you otherwise would not have access to. These professionals will be able to understand your dynamic and help you reach your goals more effectively than the average therapist or coach.
  

• Also, it's worth noting that remote therapy saves you from the hassles of fighting traffic and getting a sitter if you have kids.

If you are hesitant, we encourage you to try an on-line consult and experience it first hand. Most couples are pleasantly surprised.

Here’s what works best for video therapy:

SEATING GUIDANCE:

For our video session, if possible, arrange the computer so that you can sit in two separate chairs and both be seen by the camera. During therapy, you will sometimes have the chairs pointed to your therapist and sometimes to each other. Using chairs works better than sitting on a couch.

AUDIO GUIDANCE:

Please make sure the microphone can pick up your audio clearly when you are talking to each other in the chairs. If that is a problem, you can call into Zoom with your cell phone AND still use Zoom for video.

SECURITY: Please be aware that using video introduces security risk. You should make sure that your computer has the latest security software. By engaging in video therapy, you are agreeing to accept these risks.
