I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect and will meet you where you are at.

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.

Tricia takes the time to understand my therapy needs and shifts her focus on the things that matter to me. She listens to understand and I don’t feel judged by her, rather supported. Definitely recommend her as a therapist!

One of the best therapists I have ever had and I’ve been around the block. I restarted to better help since I was traveling for work. Tricia found me in a rough state, but with her care I found myself guided towards a healthier way of life. Off most of my meds, can handle things life better, and navigated me through an extremely rough divorce.

Tricia is brilliant. Always listens and takes in everything I have to say no matter how trivial. Originally I was very anxious to start this process but she has put me at ease all the way through. She has provided me with so many solutions and methods to improve myself over such a short space of time. Tricia is a brilliant therapist and I would recommend her to anyone

She constantly checks up on me which is great cause sometimes I forget to check back with her etc. it’s great because she asks how everything is going from our last convo. She truly cares about you.

First therapist for me and she’s amazing. I dreaded therapy for 17 years and avoided it at all costs. I had to go through 2 therapists to find Tricia. Now that I found her I have no regrets. I feel safe and heard and that’s important when you’re feeling broken.
