Melissa has been such a blessing in my life! Throughout my therapy journey she has provided info, homework, and things to consider as I have come to her with various situations and things that have happened in my past or are happening now. She has provided such a positive space for me to talk about whatever has been on my mind. She has opened doors for me to heal and advocate for myself, and she’s equipped me with tools to take on various things in my life! Thank you so much Melissa!

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.
