Virtual Care
Virtual therapy across Connecticut
Alternative Therapy serves people throughout Connecticut through secure virtual care, with our physical office located in Hamden. Meet with an affirming clinician from a private space that works for you, without adding a commute to your day.
A simple path to care
From your first call to your first session, we make virtual care straightforward. Our team will help you understand the next step, answer practical questions, and connect you with care that fits your needs.
01
Reach out
Book online or call 203-281-0300. Tell us what support you are seeking, whether you prefer virtual care, and if you need a same-day appointment. Same-day availability is offered whenever scheduling allows.
02
Complete paperwork
We will send easy, secure online intake and consent forms. Complete them at your own pace before your first appointment, and contact us if you need help along the way.
You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. We will help you take the next step.
03
Join your session
Use a private device, a reliable internet connection, and a place where you can speak comfortably. We will send your secure session details before your appointment.
04
Build your support
Meet regularly with your clinician and shape care around your goals, pace, identity, and everyday life. Virtual sessions can support PTSD, trauma-related concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and more.
Designed for real life
Care that feels accessible
Virtual therapy offers the same thoughtful, relationship-centered approach, with practical flexibility built in for people across Connecticut.
Private and secure
Sessions are provided through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform designed to protect your privacy. Choose a private setting and use headphones if that helps you feel more comfortable.
Same-day options
When availability allows, we offer same-day appointments so support can begin sooner.
Trauma-informed support
Our clinicians provide affirming, trauma-informed care for PTSD and trauma-related concerns, as well as individuals, couples, families, young adults, children, and LGBTQ+ clients.
Insurance and payment
