She was kind, funny, and professional. Recommend 10/10

Reviewed September 2024

Tina is very thoughtful and to the point - I appreciate that because I wasn’t looking for someone who would babysit my feelings. I’ve appreciated the fact that she does a check in - and sometimes even gives me “homework” to do as I work through things. This helps me outside of our sessions to process. She has a very peaceful and wise demeanor.

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.
