I have done therapy in the past, but never felt any progress with what I struggle with until I met Kathy. I have been working with Kathy for awhile now and I see a difference in myself, and finding what she says, or the worksheets she sends beneficial to me. She is one of the best.

I've only been with Kathy for a couple of weeks, but she was welcoming from the very start. She's a great listener. She reads my notes and journal entries attentively, and provides resources for me to use outside sessions. She feels like a really genuine person who cares about what she does, and I feel heard for the first time in a long time.

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.

Shes been really patient with me, especially since its my first time going to therapy. I was a little nervous at first but im really happy that i have her as my therapisy
Kathleen is not only wonderful as a therapist, she goes above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. And she’s got life experience and a plethora of ideas to help me adjust and adapt to my surroundings with my levels of depression and anxiety. She’s an amazing person.
Kathy has been so supportive. She has helped me process the most difficult moments in my life and asked questions I would never even thought or ask myself. I am very happy she is my therapist and confident with her expertise. I highly recommend working with her.
