🌊 Healing Tides Counseling Announcement 🌊
Healing Tides Counseling is making a much-needed upgrade!
If you live in Alaska, you know how challenging internet connectivity can be. I absolutely love being a telehealth therapist, but what I don’t love are the technical hiccups that sometimes come with it. Even with “fast” or “unlimited” internet, therapy sessions can still be interrupted by:
1️⃣ Constant back-and-forth of video and audio signals.
2️⃣ The difficulty of knowing if issues are from the internet, the platform, or the electronic health record itself.
3️⃣ Unexpected glitches that may show up on either side of the call—or anywhere in between.
Add in Alaska’s unpredictable weather, remote locations, different devices (cell phone, laptop, desktop), and whether someone connects by Wi-Fi or data… and you can see how complex it gets!
💻 My goal has always been to make sessions run as smoothly as possible. Life already brings enough setbacks—therapy shouldn’t be one of them.
✨ That’s why Healing Tides Counseling is taking the leap into the Starlink world! ✨
I’m super excited (and a little nervous) for this upgrade. My hope is that it will improve the consistency and reliability of sessions for everyone. So, let’s not dwell on the “what if’s”… let’s just get this puppy on the roof and see how it goes!
Stay tuned for updates! 😀
