This is my first time speaking with a therapist and now I actually look forward to my sessions each week. It's nice to speak with someone who not only wants to listen but understands and offers support. Cynthia is a great listener and remembers all the little details of our sessions. She's knowledgeable in the area of support I require and I feel she really understands what i've been through and gives great advice on what I can do to make positive steps forward. She gives me hope that things can and will get better!

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.
