Expert Online Therapy and Coaching

ACCESS to EXPERT Online therapy!

ACCESS to EXPERT Online therapy!  You don’t have to settle for an online platform that can feel like a generic, managed care model.  You will engage in individualized care with an authentic rapport and relationship.  For over 20 years we have been fine tuning and providing the same high standard of care virtually as we provide in-person.  Many therapists only began working virtually during COVID and they, and their clients, struggled with the unexpected shift.  You will receive an effective and meaningful experience that we will create together.

Compelling reasons to choose online:

  • Removing travel time constraints along with added therapy time increases consistency
  • Providing relief for people with anxiety or isolation issues because online sessions easier to manage while learning new skills and developing comfort
  • There are a variety of HIPPA secure platforms that are available now for psychotherapy and having choices can reduce barriers to connecting
  • Sometimes people feel they can get deeper into an issue virtually because the physical separation can reduce stress and allow for a freer flow between us

MA, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I began my journey of self-discovery & healing by doing my own work in therapy.  With patience, guidance, practice and education, I have come to love and accept my own challenges and strengths.  This informs and motivates me daily.  My journey, and helping others find their own positive trajectory is a very important component of my life.  Balance in life is essential, and so I continue to pursue my love of nature, health and creativity – and where it intersects with my profession, it informs our therapeutic process.

Katy Joy Freeman is our resident Teletherapy Expert who is warm, thoughtful and genuinely inquisitive in getting to the root of your struggles.   Clients feel comfortable immediately, and you’ll be surprised at just how quickly she can help you understand the issues you are concerned about – and what you can do about them.  With her depth of experience in psychotherapy and therapeutic coaching, she has helped many clients get relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.  She offers a brief complimentary phone call to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
