Virtual Reality Therapy

VR Therapy works best to alleviate general anxiety, specific anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and more, as well as build skills for attentional focus, social skills, stress management, and Mindfulness.

It is highly effective in reducing fears related to various challenges including heights, crowds, flying, tight spaces, needles, public speaking, and more!

During the sessions (in person or telehealth), you or your child will wear a virtual reality headset and be seated in order to eliminate risk of injury while moving. The clinician will be there to provide guidance and support throughout the experience.

VR Homework is also available to use in conjunction with VR Therapy or on its own to support therapeutic progress and mental well-being at home.

Homework has been shown to increase overall progress and can help to achieve treatment goals sooner. VR Homework uses a phone app and headset to create a virtual reality immersive experience. There are multiple VR Homework environments supporting the goals of increased relaxation, mindfulness, attentional focus, diaphragmatic breathing, muscle relaxation, stress management and emotional regulation. With unlimited access, the VR Homework is used anytime and as often as desired or as prescribed by the clinician. The completed homework is reviewed by the clinician and incorporated into your or your child’s overall progress.
