I was working with Stephanie for almost a year, messaging daily for several months and eventually every other week / taking a break (this is a good thing!). She did a fabulous job addressing my needs, sharing helpful resources, responding thoughtfully to my novel-length messages, and being an all-around attentive, personable provider. I appreciated her questions and perspective to my thoughts, and I'm so proud of my growth during this time! It's been like night to day! I can't recommend Stephanie enough.

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.

Stephanie is excellent!
Stephanie is exactly the kind of professional I wanted to be matched with. Not only did she help validate my childhood and help me process old wounds, but she also gave me strategies for the present and future anxieties I have. Thank you for everything you do, Stephanie!
