Pros and Cons of Long Distance Therapy

Please read all of the NYTimes article below.  You may not have considered some of these issues.

The best long distance therapy is something I have been practicing by phone alone for years.  Phone therapy.  But that phone therapy has been with an established client who is bi-coastal, or sick or away on business or in show business etc.

It is unquestionably a better thing to do if the patient is already a known commodity to the therapist and vice versa. But if after reading the following article, a person is still interested in doing therapy with me, I suggest going to my website www.arvarose.com and contacting me by writing to arva@arvarose.com.
