Where We Meet
Session Locale
Telehealth
Telehealth has been around longer than the pandemic but with the increase in demand, it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, any time soon. Telehealth therapy is done through two-way video on a secure platform. There are many that we’re able to utilize; it’s the preference of Orchid Family Care to use Zoom.
Using telehealth, you are able to participate in your sessions from anywhere in North Carolina; any place where you have a camera on a computer or a phone with internet access. Convenience and comfort, at home or wherever in the state of North Carolina.
Walk and Talk
Walk and talk therapy is a newer way to meet with your therapist in a way that is safe and effective, on several fronts. Walk and talk is mindfulness based as you’re able to get in touch with yourself in the fresh air, moving your body, talking with your therapist…all at the same time. Moving away from the literal, face to face contact can reduce the intensity you may feel with making eye contact while simultaneously being emotionally vulnerable.
It’s known that exercise helps to reduce stress, relieve body tension, improve circulation which can help to decrease anxiety and depression, regulating and increasing your mood.
So walking through your neighborhood or walking through a park, let’s walk and talk. Confidentiality is always a concern when speaking in an office, more so while talking outside. We always take care to ensure that there is no one nearby; we will have a plan should the environment make confidentiality hard or impossible.
Our clients have the option for both online and walking sessions. Should you choose to utilize walking exclusively, you are welcome to do so although your initial session would need to be face to face through two-way video or in person, not walking.
The location is non-traditional but everything else will function just as any other therapy session.
Please note that a flat rate of $30 will apply to meeting at any place outside of a 30 minute radius of 27330. Alternatively, there are a couple of beautiful parks here in Sanford (27330) including SanLee and Kiwanis Parks that have walking trails or tracks in addition to the gorgeous scenery..
We’d be more than happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.
