I've always been a little hesitant to reach out to a counselor, even though I knew it was something that I really needed. I was even more hesitant to go the online route. Ms. Santos has completely erased any concern or hesitancy that I night have had. She's been absolutely wonderful and absolutely helpful and available. I only wish that I would have started sooner.

Despite personal experiences, we all yearn to feel heard, understood, and supported. It is my goal to provide a safe space where we can explore your current challenges, identify your beliefs and strengths, and to encourage you to live a meaningful life. It is my personal belief that our past experiences can have a significant impact on us, yet it is important to have a hope for the future and be able to embrace the present. Therapy provides a safe space for us to get to know ourselves better, gain insight and skills to live a life with purpose and intention.

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.
