Telemedicine Programs

Advantages of Online Therapy

You’re probably wondering, does online therapy work? The short answer is, “Yes.” According to clinical research, it’s just as effective as in-person therapy, and here are quick reasons you should consider online treatment:

  • Safe, secure, and confidential treatment plan
  • Increased comfort and convenience, unlike traditional therapy services, as you can access teletherapy services from your home, office, or hotel room with video visits.
  • Convenient scheduling appointments  
  • No travel or wait time is required for follow-up visits.

Our Telehealth Treatment Programs

Let’s face it; dealing with mental health issues isn’t child’s play. It takes patience, commitment, and perseverance to get better. But if you’re struggling with sexual issues, we know you want to be treated right away.

That’s why we’ve developed an array of telemedicine options and treatment services in San Diego, specifically designed to address each individual’s needs to provide personalized care. Our highly trained network of therapists has years of experience working with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors and mental disorders, and they’re ready to help.

Here are some of the treatment programs we offer:

Compulsive Sexual Behavior Program

The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Program is designed to help individuals who suffer from repetitive and problematic sexual behavior learn coping strategies that allow them to manage their urges without acting on them. Our therapists use results-proven techniques to improve the quality of care, including:

  • Providing each client with a specific curriculum
  • Asking them to complete assignments
  • Letting them present their answers during the group session for feedback

Our first goal is to help you accept responsibility for your behavior and trace the distortions in thinking that led to it. After establishing these goals, the focus switches to more attachment-based assessments, which aim to unmask early attachment disruptions (loss of a parent, chronic abuse at the parent’s hands, etc.) and how these have influenced your decision-making as an adult. The final part is healing, where we help you relive past traumas in a safer environment. Patients who do well at Intrapsychic gain:

  • The recognition that early attributions of blame were misplaced
  • The psychologically freeing nature of knowing that the loss of attachment wasn’t your fault as a child
  • The intimacy created amidst all these

Infidelity Counseling

Patients often seek treatment at Intrapsychic after their partner discovers their infidelity; because the relationship may have been damaged, the patient is usually stricken with guilt and self-blame. It is part of our recovery process to judge the behavior, not the person behind it. In doing so, we are able to evaluate, discuss, and recover, and focus on the positive values of the person and relationship, to help people (and relationships) recover.

Effects of Infidelity

Acts of infidelity can have a significant impact on all parties of the relationship, and can extend to others, such as children and other close family members. It is clear that infidelity can have severe impacts on the uninvolved person in the relationship. Those who have experienced infidelity from their partner may experience the following: 

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Increased distress
  • Low confidence and self-esteem
  • Self-blame or shame
  • Rage
  • Posttraumatic stress (PTSD)
  • Poor work performance 

Treating the trauma

In some cases, those who experience infidelity from their partner can meet the criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). And because infidelity can trigger emotional responses like sleep problems, erratic behavior and mood, depression, and other health problems, many therapists have begun describing this parallel as “post-infidelity stress disorder.”

There isn’t any one procedure to treat infidelity trauma, as every relationship has different dynamics. Recovery will usually progress through the following phases:

  • Trauma Phase: This is the initial phase when the traumatic event took place.
  • Issues Clarification: This is when we examine what may have led to the affair.
  • Addressing the Problem: This is where the healing and resolution take place; individuals and couples will put in hard work to deal with the issues that led to the affair.
