Helaine Harris is a multi-talented, compassionate, and capable therapist. I have been in therapy for past 20 years with 6 therapists. She is the most capable therapist I have met so far. She is very intuitive, spiritually attuned, beyond any regular therapist I met. She is a good fit for someone like me who needs a deep therapy work to address childhood trauma and PTSD.

I am so full of gratitude for meeting Helaine and learning from her. Her approach is exactly what I need right now - full of compassion, very active listening, conversational, professional and also allowing my spirituality which I am finding is important to me right now. So grateful.

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.
