Hello, my name is Violet. I work with individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with something that they need to change, or who just need to engage in thinking differently about a problem. I am not here to judge anyone, I practice from the perspective that we all deal with things the best that we can, and when we learn better strategies, we do better. Let me help you to learn better strategies.
I am a systems therapist, which means that I consider all of the different systems that we interact with and how they help or hurt us. I have specialty in marriage and family therapy, and substance use and abuse.
I am excited to work with you, together we can help to implement new strategies that can shape your future into a more peaceful and joyful one.

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.

Violeta is a great counselor, she listens and shows this in her replies. It is nice having a place to write down thoughts and have someone respond to them. Especially in the way Violeta does
She is a great therapist!
She is very patient and understanding, she lets you work through your issues at your own pace and offers an objective perspective on the information shared. She has a caring tone and often spots or guides you to the potential reason behind certain behaviours that you may not have formerly noticed.
Been Violeta for many months now. She is always very helpful for me, as I struggle with bipolar disorder and am constantly on the pursuit of a balanced life. She helps me with finding that balance.
I am happy to work with Violeta, she is very cheerful and helpful, figured my weaknesses and strenghts in a very short time and I am happy to be understood by her.
Violeta is a great counsellor and listens to everything I say. She is always sending me messages to check up on me when I haven’t been online for a while. Violeta always sends me charts and different things to fill out to get a better understanding of how I am feeling. I am very happy to have her as my counsellor
Violeta is extremely helpful in validating how I'm feeling and advising me of a different way of looking at things. Her kind words and support help me to shift my perspective, away from anxious and negative mindset.
Violeta has given me hope where there was none. She has changed the way I see the world and helped me to be start to be responsible for my own emotions. She has been an awesome resource for me.
Violeta is very lovely to talk to! I felt that based on the information I provided she matched what I was looking for well.
Violet is a wonderful person who really cares and is really helpful in helping me to realize and reconcile my issues. I'm grateful I found this app and grateful to be working with this specific therapist!
Violeta is very good at reframing my issues so I can understand where they truly come from and what they mean. She is objective and non-judgmental.
