What is Telehealth Therapy?

Telehealth therapy (also called online counseling or virtual therapy) allows you to meet with a licensed therapist through a secure video platform. It offers the same personalized, compassionate support as in-person sessions — without the need to travel.

Whether you’re managing a busy schedule, live outside of West Des Moines, or simply prefer the privacy of home, telehealth makes therapy more accessible and flexible.

  • Convenience – Schedule sessions without the commute.

  • Privacy – Attend therapy from a safe, comfortable environment.

  • Accessibility – Perfect for those living in rural areas or with mobility challenges.

  • Consistency – Stay connected to your therapist even when life gets hectic.

  • Flexibility – Easily balance therapy with work, school, and family life.
