A member of the family who is a psychologist doing counseling in the NY metro area, including many professionals n the frum tzibur, found that her practice surged during the pandemic. That itself was not surprising given all the new stress points in people’s daily lives. However, she felt that the quasi-anonymity provided by virtual therapy (she stopped seeing clients in her office) was also a big factor in making it easier to seek help. The same trend has been observed in the secular community in general. Unclear if the trend will continue long-term but for now, its hard to even find qualified professional help for those who have decided to confront their ghosts.
