Myra is the absolute best. Period. She listens, relates, and helps guide me to making the best decisions for myself. She’s a huge advocate for ME while teaching me how to be a huge advocate for myself. She keeps it real and doesn’t sugarcoat, which I appreciate 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.

I feel very comfortable with Myra, im glad shes my therapist
Myra really listens to me and my heart. She relates really well to how I’m feeling and gives me the confidence and support I need to grow in a constructive way. I’ve been working on healing from betrayal and infidelity in my relationship. Myra has helped me set new boundaries and enforce them in a loving way. My relationship feels reset and recharged. Forgiveness feels close at hand. I’m excited to move forward.
