How can teletherapy work? How can you provide care remotely?

Phone calls and zoom sessions allow you to have appointments at your convenience. People report feeling safer and more comfortable opening up from their own homes than in an office. Under the weather? We can still meet remotely. I’ve had a decrease in missed or cancelled appointments when clients can attend remotely.

Samantha is a Psychologist, Speaker, Best Selling Author, and Host of The Be Ruthless Show, a podcast dedicated to Making Noise and Breaking Stigmas.  She helps people around the world turn their pain into their power by guiding them to be their true selves not who they think they need to be, by embracing their differences and recognizing that their perceived weaknesses are their biggest strengths, and by living life on their own terms.  Samantha’s mission is to change the way the world views both grief and mental health, so people can speak about whatever issues they have and get the help they not only need but deserve without fear of judgment, labels, and repercussions  Samantha is the proud founder of Griefhab, a 24/7 community open to anyone who has experienced a loss. After personally living through this, Sam realized just how much support she needed on a daily basis. She vowed to create these services so that others would have more support available in their times of need.

Music fuels Sam’s soul, family means everything to her, and honoring her late husband, Jim, and making him proud gives her life daily purpose.

Remote care can be even more consistent than in- person care since it doesn’t require going anywhere. I have a great relationship with my clients and they share that it is of benefit to them that we meet.

Many clients may be hesitant to engage in remote sessions, I, however, see it as an asset in therapy provision. Therapists can reach clients outside of their immediate geographic area and offer their expertise to communities that may not have great mental health services availability. Clients may feel that it’s easier to find time for sessions when they don’t have to travel for weekly appointments and can sign in remotely from the location of their choice. In addition, clients who have certain physical limitations can now be connected to a therapist and receive necessary support. Remote therapy sessions are as affective as in-person appointments, and most therapeutic interventions can still be used to have a productive therapy experience.

My goal is to establish a collaborative relationship with the client directed toward wholeness and their personal growth and transformation. I strive to move away from the stigma and labeling that traditional abnormal psychology offers and focus on my client's strengths and mutually developed goals to help them reach their highest potential. Body-mind-spirit integration is my personal life foundation, and it is the core of my therapeutic approach. I provide individual and couples therapy for the issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication issues, relationship difficulties, life transitions, coping with stress, chronic illness, cancer, bereavement counseling, caregiver support, maternal mental health, and many more. I integrate my unique specialty as a Certified MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) Practitioner, one of the very few fully certified in the US, to offer a comprehensive psychological assessment and turn this modality into a life-changing experience. I’m an eclectic therapist, combining different approaches that are geared toward individual goals of each client and ultimately lead to their own path of healing and overall wellness.

In my opinion, telehealth has become a blessing in disguise especially during the pandemic. It has provided individuals the opportunity to still get the help they need without having to leave their homes. An example will be an individual suffering from social anxiety where it's difficult for them to be around people. Telehealth provides the starting point for them to work through their concerns until they feel equipped to expose themselves to those environments.

My goal as your therapist is to guide you to identify your inner strengths during the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in everyday life problems, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, addiction and adjustment issues. I have experience working with people from all walks of life, and assisting individual clients, couples and families experiencing relationship issues. I currently provide individual therapy services to clients experiencing suicidal thoughts, mental health, substance abuse, and PTSD utilizing a client centered, solution focused approach to assist clients in therapy.

To be honest, it was quite a challenge to learn how to translate my therapeutic approach to remote, but I liked the challenge. My online sessions look very similar to in person as we still create art and do mindfulness techniques. I use a laptop to look at art while video chatting and being connected to you.

I have 26 years of experience in creative arts and mindfulness therapies and have helped thousands of people with relationships, addictions, trauma, narcissistic abuse, eating disorders; spiritual and sensitivity issues.

I am able to meet people where they feel most comfortable.
