Once upon a time, to get to therapy you had to drive somewhere, find a place to park and wait in a waiting room for your therapist to call you into her office.  Or you had to take public transportation.  Either way, you spent time going to and fro that could perhaps have been better spent doing something different.

​

One year ago, in March 2020, I gave up my office out of necessity because of the pandemic and began doing virtual therapy.  I wasn't sure how it would work out, and I didn't know how my existing clients would feel about it.  At the time, I assumed it would be a temporary arrangement and I would be back in my office by the fall. But as things turned out, my clients loved not having to spend extra time getting to their sessions and then home again afterwards.  I loved working in my home office where I could see my garden from the window and I found I did not miss my commute at all! 

 

So, what began as a temporary arrangement is now permanent, and I couldn't be happier.  My assistant therapist, on the other hand, does miss all the attention he used to get from my clients and consoles himself by barking out the front room window at anyone who has the temerity to walk past, especially if they have a dog with them.
