Dr Novitskie is a wonderful therapist that I would 100% recommend! I feel very comfortable with and taken seriously by her so that opening up about trauma and anxieties feels totally natural. She helped me reflect on my past and understand my current thoughts so that now I feel so much clearer in my head. I am always looking forward to our next session. Thank you so, so much!

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.
