Susan has been a gentle yet guiding force in helping me gain the confidence I need to move towards my ambitions. She listens and understands what you need and offers unique ways to help release the negativity and invite positive energy. I'm really glad she's my therapist.

Susan has been extremely patient and understanding. She does not just sit and nod her head while asking rhetorical questions like therapists I have worked with in the past. She offers relatable advice and has proactively guided me through exercises which no other therapist has done. This truly makes me feel like I’m progressing in a short amount of time. I look forward to my sessions with Susan and would encourage anyone looking for guidance with abuse and trauma to seek out her services.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
