Ms. Golden is a really great counselor! She listens to what I’m saying and provides sensible solutions without making me feel bad or guilty for the way that I’m feeling. Thanks to her I’ve been able to find myself in a better headspace more consistently, and I’ve been able to stop negative thought patterns much more easily.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Samantha helped me change my life. I will forever be grateful for her as a person and it was the best experience I’ve had with a therapist in my life.
Samantha was great in helping me realize what I could do with the tools I already have. She taught me how to use my strengths to my advantage in ways I hadn't thought to previously but only after helping me realize I had them. I can't recommend Samantha enough.
I’m so beyond grateful for my time with Samantha. I started counseling right at the beginning of the covid crisis and everything felt so uncertain. I have a trauma history and was in an extremely dysfunctional relationship. She helped me sort out all the pieces and put everything in its place. I couldn’t have attained my goals or found the courage to take the necessary steps to regain my life without her help. I can not recommend Samantha enough to anyone else who is looking for someone to help get back on track and get healthy. Thank you so much for everything!
I really look forward to our sessions so far. I feel like talking with Samantha has been productive and helpful. I would certainly recommend her to a friend
