We all have times in our lives when we could use some support. Whether it's our kids, our marriage, or we are just having a hard time a bit of support can come in handy. However finding such assistance can also be problematic. You want someone educated, qualified and ethical; someone with experience and understanding. Any good therapist will tell you that it is important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with, but sometimes just walking into the therapist's office building feels uncomfortable. Who saw me? What will they say, and to whom? Will my secrets stay secret? What happens when others know I'm in therapy? Will my health coverage at work reimburse me for the services? Originally, AHS began offering face-to-face therapy and phone therapy to western individuals living overseas where there were few qualified English-speaking professionals with an excellent understanding of western culture.
Convenience What we began to notice was that some people actually preferred the convenience of phone sessions over a face to face meeting. There was no need to schedule extra time to drive downtown, find and pay for parking, and make that walk into the office.
Confidentiality Though all therapists should honor confidentiality for their clients, we also know that some clients would prefer to engage the services of a professional from well outside their community, just to feel more comfortable. If you are living overseas, or if you would prefer the services of someone far far away, we can offer an alternative.
Quality & Professionalism We employ western trained and credentialed professionals (psychologists, marriage & family therapists, & licensed counsellors). Some of these professionals are currently expats themselves and also provide face-to-face services in their country of residence.
With a range of expertise available, we will match you with the professional best suited for your concerns. For more information, send an email and we will contact you at your convenience to discuss what solutions we can offer.
