Dr. Guertin has been phenominal. She's helped me through so much in the short amount of time I've been seeing her. She listens, gives thoughtful advice, and takes the time to work through issues with me. I love how she tells it how it is and will actively tell you if you were wrong and help you to understand how you were wrong and what you can do differently in the future. She's been absolutely amazing.

Amy is great. I felt by the second session, that I had known her for a long time. She makes me feel comfortable and able to be honest with no judgement. She is very good at staying involved even when it's not just during the sessions. Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone to talk to and listen to you with great knowledge on the topic. I also love that she loves her job so much.

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.
