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.

Mr. Scally has many years of experience and is professional in his manner. I feel at ease during our sessions and he has been very helpful in my grief process. I enjoy our sessions and would recommend him to others who are in need of an experienced therapist and/or need grief support.
Patrick provided great and timely feedback. He helped me through many difficult situations that occurred around the same time. Would definitely recommend.
Patrick has a broad range of experience. He asks great questions and helps dig down to the roots of my problems. From there we are able to start to formulate a plan to change conditions to help me thrive in my future. I am glad that we were paired.
Pat is a fantastic person to work with. I really appreciated his active listening and engagement, the variety of issues and strategies we explored, and his clear commitment to to me as a patient and his professional practice.
