What is virtual reality counseling?
Virtual reality counseling offers a way for you to address mental health, behavioral health, and wellness and addiction struggles using VR tools. It provides a more focused experience that utilizes traditional office visits and/or telehealth visits. During virtual reality sessions, you receive treatment in a three-dimensional world where you feel like you’re in the middle of the VR.

Virtual Reality is gaining acceptance as an add-on to traditional treatments. VR enhances and strengthens traditional treatments due to its life-like feel, convenience, and ease of understanding and communicating your emotional needs from the safety of a virtual space. You might be better able to share thoughts and experiences via virtual reality than in face-to-face appointments.
