Laura is one of the kindest and most down to earth therapists I have ever worked with. I knew instantly after our first session that she was a great match for me, and having worked with her for close to a year now I could not be happier with our time spent each week. She is incredibly welcoming, attentive and thorough. Her ability to keep up with my constant tangents is unmatched by any other therapist I’ve worked with. Our first session was after a very tragic and unexpected loss in my family. She was able to walk me through one of the most difficult and uncertain times in my life with grace and incredible wisdom.

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.
