The Benefits of Telehealth
Why choose virtual counseling? For many of our clients, online therapy is not just a backup option—it is their preferred way to connect.
1. Unwavering Confidentiality
Your privacy is our top priority. We use secure, encrypted video platforms that meet strict HIPAA standards. You can speak as openly and freely from your home as you would in our office, knowing your conversation is private.
2. Convenience & Comfort
Eliminate the stress of traffic and waiting rooms. connecting from a familiar environment—your couch, your home office, or a quiet corner—can often make it easier to open up and feel vulnerable.
3. Consistency
Life happens. Bad weather, mild illness, or childcare challenges often lead to cancelled in-person appointments. Telehealth allows you to keep your appointment and maintain the momentum of your therapeutic journey, even when life gets messy.
At Maplewood Counseling, we provide inclusive care for people of all races, cultures, and backgrounds, including interfaith, interracial, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and blended families. Our therapists bring lived experiences and specialized training to create a safe, affirming space for all.

All you need is a device with a camera and microphone (such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone) and a stable internet connection. Our telehealth platform is user-friendly and does not require you to download any special software. We’ll provide clear instructions before your first session to make the process smooth.
