It is to early to tell. I have a complex set of intertwined issues. I also struggle with 'going through the motions' with anything, including good solid counseling practices

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.

Very good
Amy is very kind. She is very helpful and really listens. She also provides tools to help growth and to assess what is currently going on.
Amy is an intelligent, insightful, patient, and kind therapist. Working with her has been a joy.
Amy is always very professional and incredibly helpful she is so kind and understanding I don't easily open up to people but she makes me feel like I can really trust her
Amy has been a light in a dark time. She is very warm and easy to talk to. I feel like I’m talking to a friend and walk away from sessions refreshed and with a positive perspective.
Amy is very easy to talk to. My particular issues are centered around a high stress profession. Amy has help me prioritize my mental health in a wholistic manner by incorporating physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness techniques. As some one who puts a lot of pressure on herself and who carries around a lot of self-doubt, stress and anxiety, Amy has really helped me point out my strengths and give myself credit and grace. After only a few sessions, I feel more equipped to push away the negative self-talk, focus on the positives, and work toward my goals.
