Erika made me feel very comfortable and at ease, even on our first session. I felt validated in my feelings while also getting me to reflect. And she is great at tactically shifting me away from negative self talk. I really recommend Erika if you’re looking for a therapist that feels like she really cares and you’ll enjoy your sessions with. She’s amazing!

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.
