Locations
Diakonos Counseling has four convenient locations to serve you throughout Greater Kansas City. We also offer Telehealth appointments.
Although in-person counseling is optimal, we realize there are circumstances that limit availability.
These include:
Clients who are traveling yet want to continue counseling while away.
An inflexible work schedule with long hours.
Long-distance relationships where the couple cannot be physically together.
Limited mobility and transportation.
Suffering from a social phobia.
Telehealth counseling is an effective alternate to face-to-face counseling. However, we recommend face-to-face counseling whenever possible. The relationship and trust you develop with your therapist is a crucial component in the healing and growth process. Being physically present with the therapist helps people feel more connected and comfortable expressing their emotions.
Important
Telehealth counseling is not appropriate for people who are suicidal, self-injuring or are prone to harming others. It’s also not appropriate for those with mental health issues that require more intense care. In these circumstances, please call 911 and go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
