Toni has been great in giving me space to vent, write and explore my thoughts , feelings and experiences in a non judgmental warm environment. I was always surprised by her accepting nature of who I am and how she would respond to my concerns. Definitely helped me with feeling validated and seen and has allowed me to be more open to the world around me.

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.
