These questions and steps are general information to help you consider care. They are not a personal assessment or treatment recommendation.
What online care can make easier
Telehealth can remove travel time and make care easier to fit around work, family, or mobility needs. It still asks for a stable connection and a place where other people cannot overhear. HHS advises patients to consider their privacy and use a quiet location; headphones may help. Ask how the practice handles technical interruptions before your first visit.
- Can you speak freely where you would connect?
- Do you have a reliable device and connection?
- Will you be physically located in a place where the clinician can provide care?
What an office visit can offer
Some people prefer the separation of leaving home and sitting together in a dedicated room. Others find travel, parking, or time away from work to be a barrier. If you choose in-person care, confirm the office address and current appointment options before traveling. For Anthony's practice, the listed office is in Gardena, with in-person availability by request.
A decision you can revisit
Neither format is automatically better for every person or every concern. Your comfort, privacy, clinical needs, and the therapist's current options all matter. If you are unsure, ask what format is available and whether the choice can be revisited. Anthony offers California telehealth and Gardena in-person appointments by request.
