I’m the short 3 weeks Kim and I have been working together. She has demonstrated great flexibility. She can easily keep up with how my brain thinks and how I feel. It has been a pleasure to work with her.

Kim is a wonderful therapist. She is helping me so much that I cannot find the right words to express how grateful I am to have met her. This is the first time I have been so open and honest to a therapist, I feel I can trust and talk to her about anything. Thank you Kim.

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.
