Samantha is great! I usually have a hard time opening up, but I feel supported and heard. I'm doing much better than I was before we started working together and we have a plan to help me achieve my future goals.

Samantha was a great resource for me. She has a gentle yet assertive way which was helpful for me to open up and trust easily. She is very insightful and cued in to me quickly. I appreciate her help!!

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.
