I have always been a nervous person when it comes to therapy. But Nicole has been the first therapist I've ever had to give me a calm and safe space while talking. She is always checking in and reassessing situations to make sure i am okay! Im super thankful for Nicole!

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.

I didnt know what to expect from therapy and even after a short time Nicole has helped me so much. She taught me to help myself in moments I struggled with. She is understanding, kind and non-judgmental. I look forward to our sessions every week. Nicole has truly helped my outlook and my thought process and I hope I have a long journey with her as my counselor ahead.
