Virtual Therapy
If physically attending addiction treatment or mental health counselling is not practical or possible, consider Diamonds virtual therapy option.
What is Inpatient Treatment
Thanks to digital technology and our expertise, at Diamonds, we are able to effectively offer online and virtual therapy and counselling program as part of our outpatient treatment services.
What is virtual therapy?
Virtual therapy – also known as teletherapy, online therapy, e-therapy, or co-counselling – involves providing mental health services and support over digital channels or the Internet.
Diamonds offers virtual therapy services in Kenya to patients remotely through digital communication channels like email, video conferencing, online chat, internet phone or a mix of the channels.
The top benefit of virtual therapy is that therapists can work with patients from anywhere in the world. On the other hand, the lack of physical interaction between therapist and patient makes it difficult to regulate and moderate.
Benefits of virtual therapy
Accessibility
There can be many physical barriers to getting to therapy. For example, maybe you live in a remote area. Or you don’t have access to adequate transportation, meaning you have to rely on friends and family to get around. Thanks to technology, you can benefit from therapy regardless of mobility issues.
Cost-efficient
Convenience
Online therapy makes it possible for you to schedule sessions that fit your life. You can schedule them around your work schedule and other obligations.
Privacy
With online therapy, you can enjoy therapy services in complete privacy. Say, you are worried about bumping into your co-workers or that one intriguing friend at a therapist’s office. You can schedule your sessions when you’re home alone.

Something important you should understand about virtual therapy
Whereas virtual therapy can be an effective treatment option when done properly, it is not right for all cases.
More serious forms of mental illness, such as substance use disorders and psychiatric conditions like severe depression and schizophrenia, typically require more than online treatment.
