TECH TALK AMERICA
Teaching Technology To The World
What is Tech Therapy?
Tech therapy is like traditional therapy, except our goal is to improve your relationship with the technology in your life. Like actual relationships, sometimes you need to bring in an expert who can offer a fresh perspective.
​
If this is your first session (or your first session in a long time), I like to start by looking over your computer to watch out for a few common issues. It's a little bit like taking your vitals when you go to see a doctor. After that, we can start to attack your list of questions.

What is David's Cancelation Policy?
David requires a minimum of 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule online or in-person sessions. Appointments canceled in less than 48 hours of the scheduled appointment will be charged 50% of the normal rate. "No-Show" clients will be charged for the full amount of the session. If you do not appear on Zoom at our scheduled time, David will call you at the number you provided when booking the session. Clients who are more than 15 minutes late will be considered a "no-show."
