Dr. Colleen Stiles-Shields was quoted in "News You'll Use" in First for Women Magazine:
"Tele-Therapy is more sustainable:
We’ve known for over a decade that mental healthcare over just the phone—let alone via video—is effective,” says psychologist Colleen Stiles-Shields, PhD, of the University of Illinois, Chicago. Telemental healthcare also removes one of the biggest barriers to therapy: sustainability. Unlike other types of medical care, mental health typically requires 10 to 20 sessions. Its ongoing nature arguably makes long-term accessibility critical. “Virtual visits reduce barriers like the need to find childcare or eldercare.”"
