Welcome to the AbilTo blog. We’re introducing it just three years shy of a life altering experience that would ultimately lead to the founding of the company. Back in 2007, I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Being 39 at the time, I was simply staggered, but also grateful. Finally, I could put a name to the ‘demon’ that had been haunting me all those years. Even better, I could do something about it. That consisted of medication, which I still take, and a scientifically validated therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The combination reignited my life.
At the same time, I came to understand just how hard it is to find, purchase and benefit from effective therapy. The traditional approach is simply to difficult to navigate. Good therapists are hard to find and difficult to schedule. The process is open-ended and can be ridiculously expensive. All in all, the stress of seeking help can be just as bad as the issue that makes it necessary.
A new approach was clearly needed. Therapy needed reinvention. That’s why we started AbilTo back in 2008. We provide scientifically validated, team delivered therapies to individuals who suffer from the most common and treatable behavioral disorders – like ADD/ADHD, panic disorder and the sadness/depression that many women unexpectedly experience after the birth of a child. Stated simply, AbilTo makes reliable, quality help available to millions of people.
We do this by connecting each client with a team – consisting of a licensed therapist and behavioral coach – using videoconferencing. Video allows clients to meet face-to-face without having to commute to receive help. Most opt to do this from home – during the evening or weekends. Equally, the team approach makes for more help and rapid progress.
The AbilTo difference doesn’t end there. We offer a free consultation to anyone considering one of our programs. If the program isn’t a good fit, there’s no fee. Moreover, our programs have a clear finish line and set price. Most programs are six to ten weeks.
Simply put, AbilTo offers a better alternative for millions of people. It’s precisely what I would have liked to take advantage of when I learned about my ADD/ADHD.
Going forward, we’ll use this blog as a means of keeping you apprised of significant new developments, both inside and outside of the company. In the meantime, thanks for visiting the site and taking the time to learn about AbilTo.
