I've been doing EMDR and guided imagery with Dr. Ellason for a few months now and the treatments have really helped me overcome my traumas. I am so thankful for all the help provided and the many ways she has helped me cope. She is a very nice person who constantly gives positive affirmations and really cares about my well-being.

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.
