Studies have suggested that online counseling, aka telehealth or virtual therapy, is more effective, and clients stay in therapy longer. One study showed that "the length of stay and the likelihood of staying in treatment until completion were significantly greater in the virtually treated patients."

Trauma Informed Care

For your safety,

and as recommended as best practice,

Sherry's counseling uses the guidelines of

Trauma Informed Care.

The Substance Abuse and mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states:

"Trauma-informed care is a service delivery approach focused on an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. It promotes positive outcomes by emphasizing physical, psychological, and emotional safety and enhances well being by empowering individuals to define their needs and goals and make choices about their care and services."

The 6 principles of Trauma-Informed Care are:

safety

trustworthiness and transparency

peer support

collaboration and mutuality

empowerment and choice

cultural historical and gender issues.
