Reviewed November 2023

So happy and relieved to have finally found a therapist who listens to understand and not just responds by the book. Anila has been instrumental in my mental health and having a calming, sensible, and wise voice in my otherwise chaotic brain. I feel I've come a long way in just our few sessions together and truly appreciate her going the extra mile and checking in on me between sessions.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
