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, 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.
