Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
I have started offering teletherapy in addition to in-person appointments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but plan to continue for the convenience of therapy clients even after the pandemic ends. Teletherapy has proven to be a viable and effective option for clients who otherwise for various reasons would not be able to access therapy services in person.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Asking for help is challenging enough, and I believe that the online format removes some of the other stressors normally associated with beginning therapy. One of the most important "ingredients" for success in therapy is feeling comfortable in the therapy setting. With online therapy, clients enjoy the convenience of meeting with me from wherever they feel most comfortable. Online therapy also eliminates the need for a commute to an office or sitting in a waiting area. With some of the stress eliminated, we can really get to work!

I see clients across the US and internationally. I address anxiety, life transitions, stress, family and relational dynamics, and trauma, and also welcome those without a specific diagnosis who are simply striving for improved well-being. The journey can be challenging to navigate alone, but recognizing the need for support is the first courageous step towards breaking free from stagnation and experiencing genuine, transformative change. If you're motivated for change but need support finding your path, I'm here.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I have been providing video therapy and video EMDR treatment since March of 2020. Online therapy has many benefits such as being easier to fit into your schedule or not having to leave the house or arrange for child care. When compared to in person therapy video EMDR therapy has demonstrated equal effectiveness in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues, chronic pain, and grief.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
My online psychotherapy practice works very much the same way that my in person practice did. On the Simple Practice and Zoom platforms, clients use the link I provide to enter the waiting room and join our session. Clients and I find that we feel very connected and are able to intensely focus on healing during our time together. Following the session, if needed, I provide therapy tools, recommendations, and reminders from our session by text or email.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy on secure, easy-to-use, high-quality internet platforms. Online sessions allow you to do therapy in the comfort of your own home or allow you flexibility in environments that best suit you. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons.
While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions.
I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting.
Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be.
If you are not super-computer savvy or are anxious about how to use technology, I will work to make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.
A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children and/or family members or roommates. Be sure and scope this out in advance so you are guaranteed quiet and privacy during your session.
Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session.
Headphones or Airpods can often make audio clearer or ensure more privacy but are not necessary.
Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, sit in their car in the driveway, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are.
You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting, and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.

Karen Queller
Art Therapist, M.A Expressive Arts Therapy
Many people wonder how Expressive Arts Therapy works online. Through my experience I can say that it truly does. Being in your own home allows you to find resources in your natural environment that are available to you, making the therapeutic process feel more integrated into your daily life..... which is where all the magic happens anyways ;)

Counselor/Therapist, LPC-MHSP, FNP-C, Lifecoach
Update: I am taking 6 new clients right now! They can be single or couples. I can only take virtual clients, and while I am paneled with insurance I can only accept cash pay right now due to time. I lowered my rate to $100 as most specialists are at least $150 to try to offset the cost and decrease barriers to evidence based quality care. I do specialize in Covert Narcissistic Abuse and couples, but due to the multiple comorbidities caused by Narcissistic Abuse, I am also a strong generalist for depression, anxiety, stress and coping, relationships, etc. I hope, especially if you are reaching out to me for narcissistic abuse or couples counseling, but really, even if you are looking for a strong generalist, I hope that you will reach out and be open to at least trying virtual therapy, as I a can provide the same level of quality care via telehealth and have over 8 years of experience in this area as well as the other disorders that accompany it.
If you tried it during Covid, that doesn't count, but you were probably going through a hub and getting a different therapist every time and experiencing a lot of technical glitches! I truly don't know how anyone could recover that way, when the entire catalyst for success in therapy is based on building a therapeutic alliance with 1 therapist, who both knows you and challenges you! This is an entirely different experience from the Covid/hub experience! It is identical to in-office therapy, even the energy comes through! However, I absolutely support whatever is best for you on your journey to healing so if its not telehealth, I wish you the best in finding your fit for a therapist! For me, therapy is very contributory to my purpose work, so if you are okay with telehealth or are willing to give it a try, and especially if you're experiencing or have experienced Covert Narcissistic Abuse, I do hope you will reach out! I look forward to hearing from you then!
