I'm by Your Side
Remote Therapy Services
Through our remote therapy program I’m by Your Side, we are honored to be a provider of charitable remote therapy services for the most neglected communities. All of our therapists are currently based in and licensed in the United States. There has been a remarkable demand for our program amongst our NGO partners. Through remote platforms and careful coordination, we are striving to enhance accessibility of mental health services for the most marginalized women and children we serve. In adapting to time differences and social distancing policies, we hope to also make humanitarian service as convenient and accessible as possible for mental health professionals internationally.
We ask that volunteers realize the highly vulnerable mental state of our clients, many of whom have experienced abandonment, bereavement, sexual violence, and domestic violence. No matter where you are in the world, we require that our therapists comply with HIPAA confidentiality rules. Therapists must also do their best to ensure that they attend their counseling sessions as per the schedule (1 day/week). Extraneous circumstances are excused, but we expect our therapists to let us know well beforehand if they are unable to attend their session. Our clients eagerly anticipate their therapy sessions, and we expect that therapists affiliated with us treat our clients with the respect they would accord their regular patients.
Our team is currently comprised of mental health professionals from a range of disciplines including mental health counseling, art therapy, social work, clinical psychology, and occupational therapy. We are constantly seeking to expand our team. If you believe your services can be of value for the underprivileged communities we serve, please reach out to us!
