Telehealth or In Person Sessions?: The Best of Both Worlds

The demand for in person sessions is definitely back in our post-COVID world, especially for kids and families. But, we are seeing couples and adults asking for in person sessions more frequently too. The ongoing demand for virtual participation in people’s jobs and schooling still has many reluctant to agree to another Zoom meeting. But, the convenience of telehealth sessions is undeniable!

If you’re struggling to decide if in person or virtual is the best option for your therapy sessions- we have the perfect option for you: Hybrid Therapy!

Hybrid therapy allows clients to meet their therapist in person and then switch to telehealth sessions for the majority of future sessions. It offers the opportunity to meet back in person as needed or wanted.

Hybrid scheduling offers the best of both in person and virtual therapy options. It offers the convenience and accessibility of telehealth, without skipping out on the personal touch and traditional model of office-based sessions. Clients who engage in hybrid scheduling report feeling just as connected to their therapists as those that choose in-person only scheduling.

By offering both virtual and in-person therapy options, hybrid therapists can accommodate the diverse needs and preferences of their clients, ultimately enhancing accessibility and effectiveness of mental health services.

If you’re interested in hybrid scheduling with a therapist on our team, reach out and let us know and we will get you connected to a therapist with availability that matches yours!

We are offering hybrid scheduling (virtual and in person sessions) for couples, families, kids, and adults in both our Oak Park and Chicago Lincoln Park/Old Town office!
