About Us: Virtual Therapy Sessions
Our Story
Welcome to Virtual Therapy Sessions, an online news platform dedicated to shedding light on the transformative power of virtual therapy. Founded in 2017, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the gap between mental health support and accessibility through innovative technology. We recognized that traditional therapy often comes with barriers—cost, time constraints, and geographical limitations—and set out to create a solution that overcomes these challenges.
The idea crystallized during an insightful conversation in 2016 when our co-founders, Sarah and David, realized the potential of virtual reality as a therapeutic tool. With a shared passion for mental health advocacy and technology, they decided to take action and turn this concept into a reality. Thus, Virtual Therapy Sessions was born, aiming to revolutionize access to therapy and make it accessible to all.
