I was really hesitant about starting therapy, but Ms. Norma made me feel so secure! I’ve only had 2 sessions with her thus far and she has given me great insight on how to cope with my issues. I really look forward to our sessions because I know I can learn to grow as a person each time we talk.

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.

Ms. McCarthy is an amazing counselor and she’s so patient and helpful with me. I really appreciate her.
I am so grateful to have found Norma. She is so knowledgeable and so caring. She truly takes the time to listen to me and work with me. I always look forward to my next session with her because I know that it will help me so much. She is truly amazing!
I love Ms. McCarthy! She is so kind and knowledgable! She has helped me learn so much about myself and what I need to do to live my life happily. I'm so grateful for her!
Norma is everything I was hoping for in a counselor. I feel like I've made real progress with my primary issue, and we're also getting into things I wouldn't have targeted on my own. We're only a few sessions in, but I can tell the longer I stick with it, the more invaluable her help will be to me, my kids, my career, and my relationships.
Norma listens and gives honest feedback . She’s amazing at what she does and has helped me in so many ways
I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never tried a counseling app before. Norma validated so much of what I was feeling in a way I hadn't heard in years of therapy. I'm very pleased.
