Email therapy is a unique, asynchronous modality created for individuals who find significant clarity through the process of reflective writing. In contrast to a live session, email therapy does not require you to be present at a fixed time. Instead, it allows you to compose your thoughts and concerns at your own pace—whenever they arise—and deliver them to a secure, encrypted clinical inbox. This format is ideal for individuals with hectic schedules, those in crowded households where privacy for a call is hard to find, or those who prefer to contemplate their thoughts before sharing them.
The process is both organized and adaptable. Each “session” typically consists of one comprehensive clinical interaction: you send your narrative, and I deliver a deep-dive clinical response within a defined timeframe, typically 24 to 48 business hours. My response is a carefully crafted, structured intervention that reflects the depth of a 50-minute session, offering insights, questions, and tools for reflection. You can then take the time to read and process my feedback as often as you need before responding again. Because every word is documented, email therapy creates a lasting “journal” of your progress that you can visit whenever you need a reminder of your progress.
Please be aware that email therapy is not currently covered by insurance providers. While live video, voice, and chat sessions are typically 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 value the flexibility and written nature of the medium. We use a highly secure, healthcare-grade encrypted email service to ensure that your information remains entirely confidential. It’s an accessible, low-pressure way to pursue meaningful counselling while maintaining total control over your schedule.
