Dr. Mueller is the best therapist I have ever worked with. She is kind and empathetic while also telling what I need to hear when I'm justifying behaviors of myself or others. She understands the complicated dynamics that can come with being an adoptive parent and is experienced in a variety of topics including addiction, lgbtq issues, and attachment disorders. 10/10 recommend.

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.

I've been in therapy for 2 decades and Dr Carla is by far the best I've ever worked with! I've made more progress in a year with her than 8 years with my previous therapist.
Dr. Carla is amazing! I've been in therapy for almost 2 decades and never have I had a therapist as great as her. She is kind, understanding, attentive, validating, but also challenges me and pushes me through my journey. I'm truly grateful for Dr. Carla!
