Bend, Oregon is a small city on the Deschutes River where to the west there are the lakes and peaks of the Cascade Mountains. The Cascade Mountains are perfect for hiking, skiing and fishing. You can also explore the incredible Deschutes River or visit the world renown Mount Bachelor ski resort.
Growing up in a small rural town in Alaska I understand how difficult it might be living in Bend to access mental health services. At times it might feel you know everyone. For example, if you graduated from Summit High School it would not be surprising your doctor, mechanic, even the person helping you at the local grocery store did as well.
Online Counseling & Therapy
Therapy and counseling can be difficult no matter where you live. In rural areas like Bend, it can be difficult to find mental health. Telehealth, online counseling, and phone counseling can allow you to do counseling where you are. You don’t have to take a long commute to get the support you are seeking. You can be in the comfort of your own home or if you like the outdoors, you can find a nice quiet place at Drake park and do counseling using your laptop or phone.
Bend has a small-town family feel. Almost everywhere you go, Farewell Park, Colima Market, or the library you may bump into someone you know. If you are seeking a safe place to process through your mental health online counseling can be an option.
Convenience
Weather is unpredictable no matter where you live. Living in Bend you can use online counseling no matter the weather conditions. All of your counseling sessions can be over the phone or simply online through the link. So, no matter the weather, no matter the unpredictable road conditions, if you are sick at home, or you are just wanting to avoid traffic or dangerous road conditions you can simply do your counseling from the comfort of your bed, your couch, or your dinner table.
