Improve your mental health with virtual reality.

Virtual reality allows users the ability to enter and interact with computer simulated life-like environments! It’s as simple as putting on a VR headset and experiencing fully immersive new surroundings.

Virtual reality is a tool used to support ERP treatment. Exposure therapy works by voluntarily confronting your source(s) of anxiety so that overtime you can better cope with these distressing situations. In some cases, these fearful stimuli (think: airplanes, blood draw, heights) are difficult to reproduce in a therapy office - and that’s where VR comes in!

Virtual reality allows our clinicians to create difficult-to-reproduce situations needed to practice exposure therapy. Our technology enables gradual and individualized exposures that provide our clients with personalized care.

This treatment is suitable for people struggling with OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, and a variety of phobias.

Research has found that VR simulated environments can provoke the same emotional and physical responses experienced during real-life circumstances.

Therefore, exposing yourself to triggers in virtual reality allows you the same opportunity as traditional exposure therapy to work on your ability to cope with distress.

Virtual reality allows you to face your fears in a safe environment. This can result in reduced stress responses to the environment, increased distress tolerance, psychological resilience, and an overall improvement in mental stability.
