Sarah Touvell does a great job of helping me. She’s able to ask the right questions for me to view things more positively and I really like the worksheets she has sent me to recognize patterns in my own thinking.

Sarah is amazing! Definitely the best therapist I have had so far. She’s extremely kind and easy to talk to. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants someone to talk to and also make active plans to work through stress and anxiety. I also appreciate her support of lgbtq+ individuals and non traditional relationships.

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.
