I was returning to therapy after many years of depression and anxiety. Due to previous experiences I was skeptical about finding a good match and making any progress. After one session with Tamara I felt understood and hopeful. Tamara speaks to and treats me with respect. I can count on her gentle but firm guidance. She has a way of pulling thoughts and feelings out of me that lead to greater insights about myself. Often our sessions are followed by recommended exercises to do, read, view, or listen to--all of which lead to growth and greater self-understanding. What more could anyone ask? I am so appreciative of these few months working with Tamara Coleman and value what she has helped me learn.

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.
