Therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody who wants to learn to better manage life’s challenges, or work on personal growth. A therapist offers tools and support to address unresolved trauma, change bad habits, share life coaching strategies, facilitate family conflict, treat mood disorders, and help build successful relationships.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Palm Springs, CA may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that when it comes to the mental health field, there are a variety of evidence-base therapeutic approaches available. Someone who is seeking traditional clinical psychology to feel heard may not be interested in the nearby family therapy practice that offers therapy in issues related to divorce. Or the clinic down the street from your office that offers individual counseling may not be taking new patients. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide range of local online-based providers that specialize in a number of therapeutic approaches and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with you therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you live in the Palm Springs or Palm Desert area and have been thinking about seeking therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started. Or you can check out the list of local online-based therapists below for more information.

Aviva Euripides
Hello, I am Aviva Euripides and I am pleased to meet you here. Our clinical work involves tracking and assessing how it assists you in meeting your goals. This solution focused work is thus overall practical but is rooted in academic and clinical rigor. I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and attended New College of California where the focus was on meeting the clinical needs of a diverse community with relevance and meaning. I have supervised and trained clinicians in treatment settings ranging from the counselor's office to acute mental health facilities. This has led to a deep understanding of clinical work. My specializations include depression, anxiety, life changes, self esteem, career and relationships. These are all human issues and are in need sometimes of clinical intervention as a tool and resource. The work begins with me listening carefully to where the pieces are at in your puzzle at this time. This allows for us to consider rearrangement and repositioning to best work for you. I have extensive experience providing counseling via telephone and online platforms and thus feel quite comfortable doing so. While this may be new to some it may resemble other aspects of life online in significant ways. Like counseling, it just takes some getting used to. I typically have appointments available via live chat between 10 am and 4 pm Monday-Friday and appointments available early mornings and weekends via video/phone session.

Victoria Bryant
Welcome - I’m Victoria Bryant, and I hail from Southern California. I am a licensed psychotherapist, master teacher and healer who dedicated my life to understanding how the body and mind work together. I help others create positive change in their lives through what I know. Growing up as a musician and dancer, earning a Masters degree in Psychology, working in a private practice where 75% of my clientele was the LBGTQ population addressing their unique and various needs - especial Trans folks; add to that becoming a wife, mother, and step-mother, it has always been clear to me that through what we mostly experience as dissonance in life, the body, mind and spirit are connected through a harmony all their own. In order to treat the pain of trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction… it is best to use a multi-layered approach to wellness, tailored for each individual. Over the past 25 years in private practice, I have been able to develop skilled and wise techniques that have been proven to facilitate change beyond a doubt, and my methods are uniquely my own. I am not aligned with popular theory or rhetoric because I combine my own life experience with my knowledge and I get lasting results for emotional, spiritual and physical pain. I live my approach by living consciously and in an aligned, healthy relationship to my body, and the people closest to me. I believe this is the path for the most pain free life possible. I am devoted to showing you what it takes to know and love your body, mind and spirit from the inside and out. Be Vibrant!
