Online Therapy
Online therapy is a highly convenient way to manage your mental health, bridging the gap of nonverbal communication with expert decoding of words, silence, and facial expressions. Studies show it is as effective as face-to-face therapy, with benefits such as after-hours sessions, saving commute time, and immediate availability. It's safe for those with medical concerns and accessible for regional clients, prisoners, fly-in-fly-out workers, older adults, and people with disabilities. At Scope, we meet you where you are. We can't wait to meet you online!
Therapy is available in-clinic or online.
What are the benefits of online therapy?
Emotional Support
Therapy can provide you with a safe and confidential space to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgement. The emotional support and understanding that therapy provides can be incredibly validating and helpful in addressing your challenges.
Self-awareness
Therapy can help you to better understand yourself, and gain insights into your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. The self-awareness that therapy provides can help you to make positive changes, develop healthier coping strategies and improve your relationships.
Skill Building
Therapy can help you to build practical skills and coping strategies to better manage your emotions, navigate challenges and achieve your goals. The skills that you learn in therapy can help you to be more resilient and adaptable when facing life's ups and downs.
