During that conversation, you and I will determine if an in-person appointment seems like the best next step for you. If it is not, then I will do my best to refer you to the kind of treatment we both decide is in your best interest.

If we agree that a psychotherapy appointment is the next right step, I will first send you the required legal forms such as HIPPA, informed consent, and basic client information. These need to be signed by you before we begin.

All appointments are virtual.

Often many powerful feelings come up quickly in that first meeting. I will give you emotional room to feel what you feel and time to share whatever you are willing to talk about.

You will feel what it's like to be face-to-face with me. You will know if I seem capable of understanding your situation and if you can be with me as you feel what you feel. You will know if I seem like a person you might give an opportunity to be of help to you. You might give me a chance to accompany you and support you on your healing journey.

You may feel rigid. You may feel sad or angry. You may feel relief and hope. You may feel all these things. If you do, and you're willing and I believe that I may be able to help you and work with you, then we will make another psychotherapy appointment.

At that point, we are building a relationship and a healing bond that supports your steps toward a more free life.

two penguins Hello Hello 8380162047We need to see and feel the mood of one another.

Joanna provides virtual psychotherapy to residents of California, Florida, Oregon and Utah.

Since the Covid pandemic, I've learned that virtual appointments with visual connections are valuable, effective and sometimes even more personal than in-person meetings. Clients are often more relaxed in their own environment.

Eating disorders manifest psychological, emotional and spiritual stress through the body.  For therapy to have meaning and optimum beneficial impact I believe the therapist and client need to be aware of physical sensations and responses.

Facial expressions, body language, a sense of rising or falling energy, changes in coloration, and a wordless sense of one another all are part of human communication. Opportunities to be aware of these experiences are necessary in the exchanges between client and therapist and are possible in virtual appointments.

Even in cyberspace, we can recognize the meaning of silences, tones of voice, and changes in breathing. This allows us to have a meaningful exchange.

Telehealth and telemental health are more accessible now, thanks to the development of communications technology and the pioneering work of Marlene M. Maheu, Ph.D. Dr. Maheu is a telepsychologist, technology developer, and the executive director of the TeleMental Health Institute. She has led workshops on legal and ethical strategies for successful distance counseling. She and her institute are valuable resources for you if you need long-distance psychotherapy.
