As a woman of a narcissistic mother, I have had many different therapists in the past, but I have never had such a therapist feel so understanding towards my struggles, but also so empathetic that she feels like a warm hug every time I am on therapy session. She constantly pushes me outside of my limits, which is great, because that’s what therapy is all about taking little steps to bettering yourself.

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.

Marguerite Elkins has helped me a lot in the shirt time we’ve been together. She’s always looking for new modern techniques; her research definitely didn’t stop after she got her license! She does everything she can to ensure I’m using techniques that are best for me and my situation. She’s so kind and understanding and patient as well! She ensures Ive fully worked through the topic of my trauma or past before we move on even if it takes longer than it typically does with other clients. I’m so thankful I was matched with her.
Wonderful therapist.
Marguerite is such a Godly, spirit-filled woman and has been such an answer to my prayers. She has really helped me walk through a lot of spiritual warfare during my engagement season and how to fight the enemy with the word of God. She has helped me find so much healing through Jesus and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Marguerite is a gifted and intuitive therapist, with high emotional intelligence and empathy. It is without a doubt that I recommend her. I always gain new insights after our conversations and I see things in a new light.
