Sara is absolutely outstanding. A great listener, nonjudgmental professional but will give it to me straight if she sees I'm doing something to contribute to my own misery. I just feel very supported and wrapped up in amazing care and love by her as my therapeutic support person! 5 stars, have recommended her to many others

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.

Reviewed March 2023

Sara is absolutely outstanding! She has really been able to see me for who I am amidst some of the difficult goals I'm trying to achieve despite difficulties I have as a single parent trying to provide for my family. She's an excellent listener, lets me process through things and helps me reflect on my life without giving unsolicited advice. Her support has meant the absolute world. I am finding ways to continue sessions with her hopefully outside of my initial covered sessions through my school. She's an angel! So thankful for her encouragement and honesty!
