Why Plutonic Virtual Therapy
Plutonic's evidence based therapy services are built to help you
Safely Express Yourself
Research shows the numerous benefits of using an avatar in a virtual environment. Digital representations of you can create a sense of comfort and allow you to safely express your feelings and experiences. One Australian study found that over 25% of people prefer to speak about negative experiences during therapy in virtual reality versus face to face.¹
Effectively Address Your Needs
Research shows virtual interactive spaces for counseling can be just as effective as in-person counseling. Studies also show cognitive behavioral therapy using virtual spaces facilitated by licensed mental health professionals can be just as effective as therapy in real life.² Our virtual spaces are designed with therapeutic qualities in mind as you receive your therapy session.
