Pamela has been instrumental in my mental health journey over the last several months. I couldn’t be happier to have been matched with Pamela. She is incredibly empathetic and makes me feel understood. I can be vulnerable with her and feel completely supported. Navigating my grieving period has been incredibly challenging, but I feel proud to know that I’m moving through it with Pamela’s guidance. I’m looking forward to our continued work together. I wish everyone had a Pamela in their corner!

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.

Before I started therapy I was not sure what to expect but even after my first session I felt like Pamela was amazing at her job. After meeting with Pamela for a while I can confidently say that she has had such a positive effect on my life and I am very grateful.
