Alison was a breathe of fresh air. So respectful and am amazing listener. She has a calm and welcoming nature that is attentive and reflective on the other person. I enjoyed my sessions with her and talking through things with her. She definitely understood the aspect of a person off loading the weight in order to be free of burden. She gave enough time for me to talk and asked what was necessary. Absolute blessing and caring!!

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.
