When nothing you try is working and life just isn't getting any better, my horses and I can help. Your session will start with increasing awareness of your body and emotions through a series of mental exercises and physical movements. When we have identified the day's concern, we will move to the barn. You will be introduced to one of our well-trained horses and you will be taught the skills needed to make improvements in your life. This could include anything from standing and talking next to the horse all the way to interacting with the horse in a small arena.

Hey there! I am so happy and honored that you came across my profile. It takes courage to seek help and I commend you for taking the first and hardest step. Many people who have come to me for support have faced difficulties with the transition to parenthood because, let’s face it, this journey can be THE hardest work! I have helped new moms and parents to navigate feelings of anger, sadness, irritability, excessive worry and fear, guilt, lack of interest in connecting with baby, changes in daily habits, trouble concentrating, withdrawal from friends and family, and even thoughts that feel scary. YOU are not alone!

My name is Jeanette Luna and I am a bilingual licensed marriage and family therapist. In taking a deep dive and reflection of my career, what struck me most and has given me the desire to fix is the burdens, challenges and struggles women deal with on a daily basis. Women carry so much physically, emotionally and spiritually. My focus is to work through these issues with the women I serve. Where our mind goes the body follows. I like to use cognitive behavioral therapy to teach my clients how to control their thoughts and emotions.

Hi, my name is Dr. Martin. In my seven years as a licensed psychologist, I have learned that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapeutic intervention; each patient brings their own unique experiences and skills. That's why I approach sessions with an eclectic and practical style, allowing us to collaboratively formulate goals and develop techniques for success.

Online Therapists

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
