Working with Rachel has been a profound experience. It was a true partnership of her teaching me a new perspective of thinking and me executing her recommendations. I have seen dramatic results during our time together. It has been a hard process, but she held space for healing to finally begin and create a new life to start. Truly a time in my life I will cherish.

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.
