Yes, for the request “Chemical dependencies”, 8 specialists offer online consultations. For many requests, the online format works just as well as in-person consultations if you have a private space and a stable connection. You will receive the video meeting link after confirming your appointment.
Consultation on the topic “Chemical dependencies” costs from 1,000 to 3,500 UAH. The typical price is around 2,500 UAH. The cost depends on the service, format, and duration, so check the specialist’s profile for the exact price.
The first session is an introduction. The specialist will ask about your needs, and together you will determine what you want to achieve and what the work will look like. You can also ask about methods, experience, session frequency, and cancellation policies. No special preparation is needed, but it can be helpful to write down in advance what is troubling you.
It depends on the concern and the goal. For a specific question, a few sessions may sometimes be enough, while long-lasting or recurring difficulties usually require regular work over the course of months. An approximate plan is worth discussing at the first session and reviewing from time to time to see whether there have been any changes.
Yes, confidentiality is the foundation of a psychologist’s and psychotherapist’s work: the content of the conversation remains between you and the specialist. The boundaries of confidentiality, including in the event of a threat to life, should be discussed at the first meeting. For an online consultation, choose a place where no one can hear you.
