Tara is a really nice woman that takes her time with your issues. She’s not afraid to make a session last slightly longer than it’s supposed to. She always make sure the patient expressed everything they wanted to and if it’s not the case she will make a priority to address it at the next session. She’s really nice and emphatic and I think she’s good to adapt to your needs and the way you want to heal.

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.
