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.

Thanks for being an attentive and responsive listener.
She is amazing and a God send!
I am a returning client of Dr. Allen’s. Dr. Allen encountered me during a season of homelessness, brokenness, and at a time where I just needed to talk. Dr. Allen immediately used her resources to help me find a safer and better place to stay. Even though I was not always in a place to listen, I was very grateful to know my options and that someone cared enough to do so. I highly recommend Dr. Allen especially if you are searching for someone who can identify with your Christian values and hold you accountable to victory we have by way of the word of G-d. I am just starting my journey to take care of mental health, I wish you well as you do the same. Peace & Blessings!
