Anella is great at what she does and able to provide many resources. The one thing I’d advise is to book your appointments in advance as it can be difficult to get ahold of her sometimes. If prompt response time is a major determining factor this is probably not the best fit as communication can lag. However if you are someone looking for ocasional support Anella is very compassionate, generous with her time and a supportive therapist with lots of resources to offer.

Anella is extremely warm and personable. She has just the right amount of friendliness while still managing to push me where I need it. Her help was invaluable in getting me through covid, and helping me change some bad habits. She’s a very insightful, and empathic therapist.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
