Vitual Reality Therapy
Virtual Reality Therapy is an innovative new approach to dealing with phobias. We use the program developed by Virtually Better. Using a computer interface, clients are trained to cope with specific fear provoking situations. The therapist guides the client through scenes presented through specially designed goggles that provide the image for the client.
The fears treated with virtual reality therapy are:
- Flying
- Heights
- Public Speaking
- Interviewing
- Classroom
- Storms
- War Trauma
The advantage to this approach to treatment is that each environment can be simulated in the office, and under highly controlled conditions. Additionally, situations that might require hours to produce live can occur many times in a single office visit.
