Therapy via email is a unique, asynchronous approach designed for those who find significant clarity through the act of reflective writing. Unlike a live session, email therapy doesn’t necessitate you to be online at a specific time. Instead, it allows you to draft your thoughts and reflections at your own pace—whenever they arise—and send them to a secure, encrypted clinical inbox. This medium is perfect for individuals with busy schedules, people in busy households where privacy for a call is difficult to secure, or anyone who prefers to “sit with” their thoughts before sharing them.
The process is structured yet flexible. Each “session” typically consists of one comprehensive therapeutic exchange: you send your narrative, and I deliver a thorough clinical response within a set timeframe, typically 24 to 48 business hours. My response is a thoughtful, structured intervention that reflects the depth of a 50-minute session, offering insights, questions, and tools for reflection. You can subsequently take the time to review and digest my feedback as many times as you need before replying again. Because each exchange is documented, email therapy creates a lasting “journal” of your therapeutic journey that you can refer back to any time you need a reminder of your growth.
Please be advised that email therapy is not currently covered by insurance providers. While real-time modalities are usually eligible for reimbursement, insurance companies often do not recognize asynchronous email as a billable service. This option is offered as a self-pay service for those who prioritize the flexibility and literary aspect of the medium. We use a highly secure, healthcare-grade encrypted email service to ensure that your information remains strictly confidential. It’s an inviting, low-pressure way to pursue meaningful psychological work while maintaining total control over your schedule.
