Talk Now Therapy Provides Professional Help By Phone

May 2, 2013 - PRLog -- May 2, 2013 (San Marcos, CA )  It seems as if the recession is synonymous with depression.  With layoffs, cutbacks, mortgage foreclosures and unemployment at an all time high, people are starting to feel the pressure.  Some turn to family members in a time of need, not really knowing that they may just be passing the burden on to them.  Others turn to traditional therapy and quit after a few sessions due to time, distance and/or money.  

A progressive and well thought out Internet company may have the answer.  TalkNowTherapy.com (http://www.talknowtherapy.com/) has a unique approach to therapy, problem solving and business coaching.  Without leaving the comfort of your home or office, you can be connected to a certified therapist within minutes via the phone.

“Our company was founded on helping people.  We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to talk with certified professional  instantly,” says Michael Harlow, President of TalkNowTherapy.com .  “Many individuals are being tasked with so many things during the day that they may not have the time to get the help they need.”

Researchers from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine conducted a nationwide “snapshot” of telephone-administered therapy and found that face to face therapy sessions were more likely to fall off by 50%, versus only a 7.6% decline found with telephone therapy.  A reason for this may be that during symptoms of depression, people tend to lose motivation.  Showing up for appointments is much more difficult than picking up the phone.  

Therapy by phone is also a great way to reach out to the physically disabled, elderly and other individuals that may have difficulty making regular face to face visits.  

Economic factors come into play as well.  Traditional face to face therapy is sometimes (but not always) covered by an individual’s insurance, however, when you factor in time off from work, travel, parking and other variables, it can add up quick.  The professionals at TalkNowTherapy.com (http://www.talknowtherapy.com/) are, on average, half the price of in office therapy visits and you can choose from several hundred professional counselors, who vary in a multitude of different qualifications.
