Creating a foundation for mental wellness, today and for the future.

Online mental therapy or teletherapy offers the same benefits as in-person sessions but through virtual platforms.

Sessions are confidential and tailored to your needs. At 1SpecialPlace, we’re redefining mental health care with our virtual therapy centers, led by experienced therapists. Our sessions are designed to help you navigate life’s challenges with expert guidance, making mental wellness accessible, effective, and within reach.

Yes, research shows that online therapy can be as effective as in-person sessions for many mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress management. The key is finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with and who uses effective therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs.

No, you don’t need a referral to start mental therapy online. You can directly reach out to a therapist or mental health clinic for an initial consultation. However, if you're seeking therapy for specific conditions (e.g., for medication management), your doctor might recommend therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Various types of therapy are available, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Talk Therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, and family therapy. The right approach will depend on your unique needs, and a therapist will work with you to determine the best fit.

During a therapy session, you can expect a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings. The therapist will listen actively, ask questions, and help guide you through exercises or techniques designed to improve your mental health.

Therapy for children focuses on age-appropriate methods to help them manage emotions, improve social skills, and address any problem of mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, or behavioural issues. Therapy can include play therapy, family therapy, or individual sessions tailored to your child's needs.

Yes, therapy can be beneficial for couples or family relationships. Couples counseling can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust, while family therapy addresses dynamics that may be impacting family relationships.

Yes, teletherapy is completely confidential. We use secure platforms to ensure your privacy. Online sessions at 1SpecialPlace are conducted just like in-person therapy with the same standards of confidentiality and professionalism.

The frequency of therapy sessions varies based on individual needs. Typically, clients attend weekly or bi-weekly sessions, though some may need more frequent sessions depending on their mental health concerns. Your therapist will guide you in determining the right schedule.

Choosing the right mental health therapist depends on your specific needs, whether it’s managing stress, depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues. Consider factors such as their experience, therapeutic approach, and your comfort level with them. We can help match you with a therapist who is best suited to help you reach your goals.

Children between the ages of one and three typically begin speech therapy. Most speech problems occur between the ages of 18 months and 2 years, but if you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to get in touch with a speech therapist earlier.

To improve language skills, the speech therapist could employ repetition exercises and provide an example of proper vocabulary and syntax. Articulation therapy: During play speech therapy activities, the therapist models for the child the proper sounds and syllables in words and sentences. This process is known as articulation, or sound production exercises.

To conduct speech therapy at home, first consult a speech-language pathologist (SLP) for personalized guidance. Incorporate daily exercises targeting speech, language, and communication goals, such as articulation practice, language games, and reading aloud. Use visual aids, flashcards, and interactive apps to reinforce skills. Encourage regular conversation to practice speech and language in natural settings. Create a consistent routine and track progress to adjust activities as needed. Engage in activities that promote listening and comprehension, like storytelling or following instructions.

Although an exact success rate for speech therapy patients has not been specifically studied, one study found that roughly 70% of preschool-aged children who received speech therapy online experienced a substantial increase in their communication skills.

If your child struggles with communication, it might be time to consider on site and online speech therapy. Signs include difficulty pronouncing words clearly, limited vocabulary for their age, trouble forming sentences, or challenges understanding and following instructions. If their speech is significantly less intelligible than peers', or if they experience issues with social communication, such as difficulty taking turns in conversation or understanding nonverbal cues, these could also indicate a need.

Additionally, if speech problems impact their academic performance or social interactions, seeking a speech therapist’s evaluation can provide guidance and support for their development.

Some persons who struggle with communication skills may benefit from practicing certain speech and language practices at home. At-home speech therapy can be very beneficial for children and adults who do not get agitated easily and have just minor delays or articulation difficulties.
