Sentier therapists provide online sessions, sometimes called Telehealth, and we have found it can be a viable alternative or supplement to therapy that occurs in the office. Here are some reasons people utilize online sessions:
- Transportation or location limitations, particularly for rural residents
- Access needs
- Illness
- Inclement weather
- Work travel

Give us a call today if you'd like to learn more about our online service options!

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” — Booker T. Washington

Being of service helps us get out of our heads and find purpose in connection with others. Acts of service go beyond simple gestures of kindness; they create profound, measurable changes in the brain and body, reducing stress and increasing feelings of happiness and motivation. Gilda's Club MN is a great place to consider if you are looking for volunteer opportunities for yourself!
