Online Therapy in Pennsylvania
Online Eating Disorder, Trauma, and EMDR therapy for those in Pennsylvania
Quality Online Therapy in Pennsylvania is done from the comfort of your home.
On top of providing in-person sessions, Revive Therapy Services also provides online therapy in Pennsylvania. In fact, the majority of people who come to us are provided with quality treatment through online therapy. We understand the traditional model of therapy is done in person. However, life can be complicated, and having the privilege of seeing a therapist in person is just that...a privilege. As an online therapist, I get it, you work a full-time job, go to class, and spend time at the gym or with friends. You then are responsible for taking care of your home, feeding yourself, and taking care of your kids or pets. Fitting time to go in person to therapy can add more stress and inconvenience. Ultimately, this gets in the way of you reaping the full benefits of therapy. The good news is more and more therapists are wanting to work with people through online therapy in Pennsylvania.
Online Therapy in Pennsylvania can be just as effective as In-Person therapy.
When Covid-19 started, this was the question the majority of mental health practitioners worried about. We, as well as the rest of the world, were forced to adapt. And through adapting, we came to see that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person. Online therapy grew in popularity during the pandemic, however, online therapy has been available for years. Fortunately, researchers were able to conduct studies to evaluate the effectiveness of online counseling. Their studies, it has shown online therapy was equally effective as face-to-face therapy! We have been able to see this firsthand as a large majority of clients we’ve worked with have not only benefited from online therapy but have flourished.
“You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.”
— Lori Deschene
Make the Most out of Online Therapy in Pennsylvania!
You’ve made the decision to start healing and feel that online therapy is the best option for you. Therapy in of itself is a vulnerable process and it can be helpful to create a space for yourself that feels safe and supportive. Here are some things to think about before you start:
Pick a space where you know you won’t be interrupted and your privacy will be respected. If you live in a space with thin walls, it could be beneficial to invest in something like a white noise machine which will help maintain your privacy.
Be intentional about when you schedule your session! Nowadays, it’s common for people to attend therapy sessions during their workday. Therapy can be draining and it might be difficult to have a meeting scheduled right after your session.
Give yourself 5-10 minutes after the session to recoup. This also gives you more time to reflect on what you discussed during your session. Jumping off your session and then immediately having to do something else is overwhelming.
Make your space comfortable and safe! Wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, light your favorite candle, and don’t forget to have a glass of water, coffee, or tea accessible. As cliché as it sounds, having a box of tissues can be helpful too. If you are someone who likes fidget toys, bring them! We want to make sure you are feeling safe and comfortable.
Online therapy is All-Inclusive.
On top of the many benefits of online therapy, another benefit that many don’t consider is how online therapy can also be a safer and more accessible way to receive support. Revive Therapy prioritizes creating a supportive and safe place for BIPOC, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and people of every size. Online therapy in Pennsylvania is another way we can meet your needs! We don’t underestimate how physically going to therapy could potentially feel less safe due to the oppressive systems present. By engaging in online therapy you get to choose the environment that feels the safest. Whether it’s wrapped up in a blanket on your couch or snuggled up with a pet on your bed. Being in an environment that already feels safe can make therapy more effective.
Online Eating Disorder Treatment.
Along with having online therapy for Trauma and EMDR, we also provide online therapy for those struggling with Eating Disorders, Body Image, and Disordered Eating. It can be really scary starting treatment for concerns you have revolving around emotional eating, binge eating, restricting, and/or purging. Online therapy in Pennsylvania can be a fantastic way to start exploring your concerns in the comfort of your own home! Shame is a common emotion many carry when struggling with body image and disordered eating. This shame has the ability to prevent people from starting treatment due to how they perceive and feel in their bodies. Online Eating Disorder Therapy at Revive Therapy Services can help decrease the levels of shame surrounding your body and food.
Online Trauma Therapy in PA.
Trauma comes in many shapes and sizes. PTSD treatment and trauma therapy need to be individualized as we are all unique and treating trauma isn't one size fits all. The good news is even though trauma treatment needs to be adjusted for each person's needs, the method of therapy provided doesn’t have to be as complicated. Research has shown one of the most important factors of successful therapy is having a good relationship with your online therapist. Luckily, a meaningful and quality relationship is able to be built through online therapy.
Online EMDR Therapy in Pennsylvania.
When it comes to EMDR, the biggest question we get is “Can you even do EMDR therapy online?” Traditionally, EMDR has been typically done in person. However, EMDR can be just as effective online as it can be in person. EMDR can actually feel pretty vulnerable due to the fact you’re working on deep-seated trauma. Doing EMDR in a space where you feel the most comfortable could actually make you feel safer. In fact, The EMDR International Association has reported there aren’t significant differences in outcomes when EMDR is done online or face-to-face.
