Alison understands and emphatizes with me and what I'm going through. She's a great listener and resourceful. She definitely helped me to accept myself and guided me to the right path to grow as a person.

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!!

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
