Kathryn makes me feel heard and I trust her the way I would trust a family friend or a close aunt. She’s slightly older than me I believe but that means she’s close enough in age to understand what I’m going through. I feel safe telling her anything and with each appointment she is helping me get out of this hole I’ve dug myself in. 10/10 recommend, but I also want to keep her forever so I’m hoping as she grows I can still be in her circle

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.

I finally found a therapist who build trust and help me understand myself in a way when I don’t feel pressured. She supports me and I always leave our sessions uplifted. I really gained self confidence and positive attitude after few weeks of therapy.
Kathryn has been very helpful and I always walk away feeling better.
