I wasn't sure about the quality of care I would get from a telehealth service, but that concern was quickly assuaged when I met Dr. Nixon. Dr. Nixon is extremely intelligent, well-spoken, empathetic, and compassionate. She has respectfully pushed and challenged me but has also taken time to validate me. She is perceptive, and I've undoubtedly benefitted from my sessions with her. Highly recommend!

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.

Dr. Nixon is an incredible resource. She is kind patient and so helpful. I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for any kind of guidance.
Dr. Nixon really listened to what I was saying and really helped me reflect on who I was becoming. She gave me practical tools and assisted me in making goals to help me grow where I wanted to. She did not judge me and allowed me to be my broken self in front of her and that was what I really needed. And then she helped guide me as I healed.
Dr. Nixon is patient, asks pertinent questions, allows me space to think about my responses and lets me choose how I wish to proceed. She is awesome!
Dr. Nixon is a beautiful inside and out! She is so easy to talk to and makes me feel so comfortable. I'm glad we can talk as much as we might laugh. She is great.
Being able to talk to my counselor gives me a sense of accountability to keep making progress. She understand and sheds light or a different perspective of my situations. She is very supportive and makes me feel very comfortable opening up to her.
