This by far has been my best experience with a therapist. Alena has been truly a godsend. I believe she genuinely cares about my well being and my progression. Alena not only is active during our live sessions , but she is quick to respond to my messages. Every Monday she sends out a message with a quote. It's usually a very feel good message, motivational message to start your week off right and I really enjoy them.

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.

Alena listens and easily helps me understand the direction i am heading and helps me discover a better path
Alena was exactly what I needed to help me get through my issues. She is a great therapist and I will continue to use her.
Great therapist greatly limited by their time offerings due to being located in a different country than me.
