I was paired with Tamara after 3 or 4 others, and I was losing hope I'd find someone who I clicked with. I adore working with Tamara. She listens, she is relate able..... She's kind of like the cool older aunt, or older coworker that you click with. Prompt, uses the full time, and the only one who actually sees me as a person. Totally recommend.

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.
