In general, therapy, whether it’s in person or online, helps people to:

Offering online telehealth psychotherapy in Freeport, IL, and anywhere in Illinois.

Online counseling provides a convenient option for individuals seeking therapy who prefer the privacy of their own space or cannot feasibly go to an office for sessions. Research has shown that patients can receive the same level of care and satisfaction through telehealth services as they can in person. Even for people who are not generally comfortable with technology, most people get accustomed to the platform within 2-3 sessions.

Your care is our top priority. At Twin Image Counseling Service, you can do an online therapy session from the privacy of your own home or anywhere you have an internet connection in Illinois. With our online telehealth therapy services, you can talk with a therapist from your desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Online therapy sessions from the comfort of your home

Telehealth, or telemedicine, is the distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies, permitting real-time, secure communication. Telehealth psychotherapy allows patients to get help without seeing a therapist in person.

Now taking new patients for online therapy services

We are accepting new patients for this service to meet the growing demand for supportive mental health care. Our remote online therapy appointments are only available for patients in Illinois and are HIPAA-compliant. This service is offered at no extra cost to our patients. Patients can participate in individual counseling from home, work, or any location determined appropriate by the patient and their practitioner.

Group support allows a small group of individuals to connect through shared experiences. It is an effective means of treatment and provides a space for encouragement and social support. Group support helps you realize you are not alone and normalizes life experiences.

With the guidance of 1 - 2 group therapists and/or partnering
providers, the group can offer support, provide alternate perspectives, and propel you forward. Group members have the opportunity to resolve conflict, communicate challenges, learn alternative ways of engaging, and develop new social skills and ways of relating to people.

Group support can often be a more affordable option than individual therapy. Groups can be closed, meaning they meet with the same group of people from beginning to end, or open, meaning that the group might be ongoing indefinitely where individuals can “drop in” for a session as they see fit.

Maintaining Privacy Due to the personal nature of information shared in a formal support group, it is crucial that everyone feel emotionally safe to participate. Each group member must sign an agreement to adhere to the rules of confidentiality. Group members pledge that they will never share information discussed in the group, including the names of other group members, when outside the group. Paying for Groups Some insurance policies provide coverage for group support. Be sure to contact your insurance carrier to discover if your plan provides coverage by asking the questions listed in the phone script for talking with insurance about your benefits. Depending on the group, if you are not filing insurance, the self-pay rate is generally around $40-$75 per session.

Group Support has many benefits, including:

assures individuals they are not alone
provides a space to gain self-awareness through interactions with others
offers the opportunity to receive and give support in a setting where others share similar struggles
builds communication and social skills
creates a sense of belonging and acceptance
hearing alternate perspectives about your challenges
helps normalize your experiences and associated thoughts and feelings
creates a sense of community and interconnectedness

The lessons and activities in this manual incorporate core elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that we believe programs should prioritize for maximum effectiveness: 1. Increasing youth awareness of automatic behaviors: o Encouraging attention to how automatic thoughts and beliefs shape the way they interpret and respond to events. o Promoting mindfulness of often-overlooked environmental factors. o Fostering awareness of habitual responses. 2. Facilitating changes in automatic behaviors: o Encouraging youth to pause and reflect before reacting. o Supporting the re-mapping of behaviors by helping them substitute different automatic responses in high-stakes situations. o Assisting in reconceptualizing situations and correcting biased automatic thoughts or beliefs that may lead to maladaptive responses. The aim of these exercises is to help youth recognize the influence of automatic behavior in their lives and encourage them to act with greater deliberation, question their initial perceptions of situations, and evaluate the consequences of various responses. From a public policy and practitioner standpoint, it is especially important to foster situational awareness and ensure appropriate responses in situations where youth may engage in harmful behaviors. Therefore, the exercises in this curriculum are likely to have the greatest impact when focused on: • Conflict resolution and de-escalation (critical to preventing violent incidents). • Classroom behavior (which is essential to academic success and, according to extensive social science research, inversely related to criminal behavior).
