My approach to therapy: I help calm your inner critic. Anxiety needs a flexible approach. I want to help you become someone with healthy boundaries with your emotions, work and relationships.

In-person therapy is a powerful tool. Just like when you’re in-person with the people you care about, you have more access to each other’s non-verbal cues. For both the therapist and the client, this can be helpful. Sometimes, people who spend their days working on computers or doing more socially isolated work feel that in-person therapy is even more valuable because it is a change of pace.


In-Person Therapy Benefits


A big part of a therapeutic practice is creating a peaceful environment where the therapist and the client can comfortably focus. A therapist’s office should be a safe space free of distractions and outside influences. Because your therapist is in charge of that space, seeing your therapist in-person means you don’t have to worry about creating the right environment for therapy like you would if you went to therapy virtually from your own space.


In-person therapy also allows for more flexibility in the type of therapy like equine therapy, art therapies, or walk and talk therapies.


If you are trying to make the decision about whether or not you should see a therapist in person or online, our article on making the decision between the two can be helpful. At Mental Health Match we connect you with top local therapists who are experienced in the ways that best meet your needs.
