I've been attending therapy sessions with Dr. Smith since October 2023. Throughout our sessions, I have consistently felt safe and encouraged to share my feelings. Dr. Smith not only listens attentively but also highlights the progress I've made. She provides valuable ideas and actionable steps for me to work on between sessions. I always eagerly anticipate our sessions together. Would highly recommend her.

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.
