Methods of Therapy

Dr. MacArthur provides psychotherapy through four methods: 1) in-person, 2) video therapy, 3) phone therapy, 4) outdoor therapy.

In-person Therapy, the traditional format of therapy, is available at two locations – Dr. MacArthur’s offices in Oakland or West Milford, NJ.

Video Therapy is provided through the Doxy.me telehealth app, approved by the American Psychological Association.
Phone Therapy is preferred by some for its excellent audio properties.  Some find it less distracting than video therapy for this reason, and of course, it is as flexible as video therapy.

Outdoor Therapy provides you the opportunity to meet with Dr. MacArthur in an outdoor setting.  Sitting or walking in the local park provides the psychological benefits of being outdoors and physiological benefits of walking, if you choose to.  Some prefer to do this on more park-like property, while others have their therapy while hiking on the local woodland trails around Oakland or West Milford.

Please contact Dr. MacArthur at (201) 669-6320 (call/text) to discuss whichever option appeals to you.
