I have been in therapy with Wendy for 3 months now, and I can see the progress we have made. Wendy is compassionate, present, and always always supportive and understanding. Wendy illustrates whatever we’re discussing, and gives her full attention to my concerns. She’s an excellent therapist and an amazing human being. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who’s trying to start their therapy journey.

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.
