As a woman of a narcissistic mother, I have had many different therapists in the past, but I have never had such a therapist feel so understanding towards my struggles, but also so empathetic that she feels like a warm hug every time I am on therapy session. She constantly pushes me outside of my limits, which is great, because that’s what therapy is all about taking little steps to bettering yourself.

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.

Marguerite Elkins has helped me a lot in the shirt time we’ve been together. She’s always looking for new modern techniques; her research definitely didn’t stop after she got her license! She does everything she can to ensure I’m using techniques that are best for me and my situation. She’s so kind and understanding and patient as well! She ensures Ive fully worked through the topic of my trauma or past before we move on even if it takes longer than it typically does with other clients. I’m so thankful I was matched with her.
Wonderful therapist.
Marguerite is such a Godly, spirit-filled woman and has been such an answer to my prayers. She has really helped me walk through a lot of spiritual warfare during my engagement season and how to fight the enemy with the word of God. She has helped me find so much healing through Jesus and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Marguerite is a gifted and intuitive therapist, with high emotional intelligence and empathy. It is without a doubt that I recommend her. I always gain new insights after our conversations and I see things in a new light.
Marguerite is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend her!
I’m so blessed to have Marquerite Elkins as my therapist, i so look forward to my sessions every week and I feel the difference in myself since she became my therapist.
