O7 Therapy adopts a holistic model which deals with the person as a whole and not just symptoms or disorders. There are highly qualified teams of psychiatrists and psychologists that integrate different therapeutic modalities and use a variety of tools to help reframe your current issues. Hence allowing you to overcome challenges and cope with stressors in many areas of your life. O7 Therapy is committed to reduce the difficulties of face-to-face therapy given the current circumstances. We use cutting-edge technology to provide you with accessible, top-notch mental health care in the comfort of your home.

According to recent research trials, online therapy can be as effective as face-to-face therapy. Online therapy can also provide faster and more comfortable mental health care. Many online platforms are being used by millions of clients in the USA, Europe and Asia.However, there are some cases which will require face-to-face assessment. Such as overwhelming suicidal thoughts, thoughts to harm others, severe withdrawal symptoms from drugs or any other emergency situations. At which point we advise you ask your family or friends to accompany you to the closest psychiatric hospital.
