Empowerment Oasis Therapy offers virtual sessions to help clients address various mental health concerns. Our therapists work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and goals. We utilize evidence-based practices and holistic approaches to guide clients on their journey to wellness.
​
Our HIPPA-secure video conferencing virtual platform creates a safe and supportive space for clients to connect with their therapist and share their stories without meeting in person.
​
Our therapists are clinically licensed in Illinois and can thus only serve individuals in that state. Currently, only Illinois residents can participate in virtual talk therapy services.
