Angelina is invested in me, my success, and my triumphs; even if they are just baby steps. She listens and she cares and that means a lot to me. I feel zero judgement from her, therefore I am 100% honest no matter how hard it is to say out loud. I can't wait to talk with her again.

Angelina has been so helpful right from the beginning. She’s asking those key questions in non-invasive ways. If I had any doubts about getting on this journey to healing, she really wipes them away.

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.
