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.

Highly recommend if you really want to dig deep and heal. I look forward to all our sessions. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Heather is kind, compassionate and patient to me no matter what I bring to her. I trust her and her expertise when it comes to many issues and she takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable and safe doing so. I had a bad experience with a few other therapists but she’s definitely one I would highly recommend!
