An unhealthy computer leads to toxic relationships. Unhealthy computers sputter, stall and behave irrationally. They are a real pain to work with! A healthy computer works at a high and sustained performance level. It will reproduce the same results, time after time and it never gets bored.
You would never take your car to work if you had no confidence in its ability to successfully get you there. In the same way, you will eventually stop using an unhealthy computer because it leads to a high level of frustration. Once computers start misbehaving, they generally don't fix themselves, they only get worse. Don't prolong this frustrating experience, contact us for help now!
You might be interested to know that over 70% of computer problems can be fixed by simple software adjustments and procedures. Your computherapist is an expert at identifying the underlying causes of unhealthy behavior and fixing them.
We recommend that you replace any computer purchased prior to 2002 with a current model. We advise you to 'fall in love' with your data and processes and treat your computer like a rapidly aging appliance! Back to Top
There are two typical sessions:
- One-on-One - your computherapist will work with you on your own computer within your normal work setting. You will experience a rapid increase in your comprehension of the processes and quickly learn how to get the results you want. These sessions usually last sixty minutes. Sessions can be scheduled as frequently as you need to achieve your goals.
- Remote - your computherapist logs onto your computer from the internet and simultaneously talks to you over the telephone. This ensures that you both see the same screen activity. Remote sessions can be used to troubleshoot computer problems or as a timely replacement for one-on-one sessions. At this time, we schedule remote sessions as a support tool for clients who have successful passed through One-on-One sessions and feel comfortable letting us remotely access their computers.

The length of time depends on your goals, your learning styles and your learning curve.
- Many clients schedule weekly one-on-one sessions to pursue demanding technologies such as digital photography, video editing, and web design.
- Some clients use our services for shorter periods of time as they focus on acquiring specific skills, for example e-mail, searching for information, office training, creating communication literature or preparing/presenting output on different types of media.
- Other clients need help to overcome specific obstacles that prevent them from achieving short term success. These sessions can be as short as forty minutes. Back to Top
The cost for an in-home or office session starts at $75 per hour and remote sessions start at $40 per hour. Your computherapist can provide you with fixed price packages for 'chunks' of computherapy time. You might want to purchase these services as a gift for a colleague or friend.
