Bernadette is truly a gifted therapist! From just the first session, I felt understood and heard. Highly recommend her for immigrant background folks who have a complicated upbringing and looking for ways to resolve and evolve out of their troubles. Bernadette deeply understands the human condition and how to support in our healing so we can get to the other side of ourself. If you’re ready to go deep, go talk to Bernadette and be ready to be uncomfortable because that’s where the magic happens.

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.
