What is Walk-and-Talk therapy?

Walk-and-Talk therapy provides an option for therapy outside of the office setting. Walk-and-Talk therapy combines the elements of movement and nature to traditional therapy practices. You/your child and the therapist will meet at a public park and walk, engage in other movement activities (such as passing a ball), or simply observe the benefits of the outdoors as you or your child interacts with the therapist.

What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy can include a virtual option for meeting with your therapist. At Red Cardinal Therapy Services, our primary mode is video. You/your child and the therapist will connect via videocall using Zoom, and from there the therapy process will be the same over Zoom as it would be if you or your child were attending their appointment in an office setting. Phone services are also an option as needed.

Do you offer therapy throughout Michigan?

Yes. We provide secure online therapy to clients anywhere in Michigan, and Walk-and-Talk therapy to those who are located close to Genesee and Oakland County area.

What are the benefits and risks to Teletherapy?

Benefits to Teletherapy include the convenience of being able to save time for those individuals or families who have hectic schedules, travel often, or experience other barriers that make it difficult to make it into the office for mental health services. Even without barriers, many prefer the convenience that Telehealth therapy brings and the ability to access services from the comfort of your own home!

While every effort is made to make telehealth services as safe as possible, including upholding HIPAA standards, there are still risks to using Teletherapy and your privacy. We can go over those risks during your initial consultation or by requesting a copy of Red Cardinal Therapy Services’ privacy policies.

Do you work with parents?
