Christi was my first and perfect match! I have to unpack a lot of childhood trauma which has given me a lot of anxiety in my adulthood. She’s able to help me unpack & suggests ways to help understand things about myself that I never knew until I thought about it. She’s wonderful, I trust her wholeheartedly and I’m so thankful to have her on this journey to healing. I could go on and on about her!

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.

Reviewed March 2024

When I first decided to make an appointment to begin therapy, I was afraid and unsure of what to expect. I am so thankful for Christi. She has made my therapy experience safe and enjoyable. She truly cares and allows me to work through emotions while providing the tools to keep positive and guide me through situations. She gives perspective to situations professionally without judgment, and I couldn't be more appreciative.
