Ms. Saundra is one of those hidden gems! It’s hard trying to find that perfect therapist who can (and is willing) to address all of your needs and somehow Ms. Saundra manages to do that. She has a gift of knowing the things I NEED to hear. She’s straightforward which works best for me. Our sessions feel more like a *structured* girl talk, I feel so comfortable opening up about things that are cringy or embarrassing. Ms. Saundra gives me space to be emotional but doesn’t allow me to stay there, which I appreciate. She is teaching me how to give my self grace & how to move on. I appreciate her sharing relatable and relevant stories, it helps me feel like most of the stuff I stress about is typical life stuff. I truly appreciate all the work Ms. Saundra does, she’s literally like having your own personal cheerleader!

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.
