Amanda is a wonderful therapist. She listened to everything I had to say with patience and curiosity. She was also very adept at providing feedback when I wanted it, which was ever time from her ;) I grew to look forward to our sessions and I carry many of the wise insights she shared with me throughout my day to day life. Thank you, Amanda!

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.
