I’m really happy with my therapist. I got a really good vibe from her profile & thought I’d give her a try after my first session was canceled at the last minute with my assigned therapist. I’m so glad they canceled and I got the opportunity to find a therapist who is a great fit for me. I’m going through many life transitions after a period of upheaval and Terri has been a pillar of support since we started working together. I’m so very glad to have a therapist who really understands where I’m coming from & offers great insights, wisdom & really listens. Thank you, Terri!

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.
