Selina makes you feel comfortable to speak from the start, she is great at reading between the lines, and really picks up where you left the last time. In only a few sessions Selina helped me working out my thought patterns and on what caused/s them. I look forward to every session with her, as they feel like talking to a dear friend.

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.
