I haven't worked with Sam long. Like any therapist it takes time to lean in, to trust and really open up. But Sam out of all the therapists I have had makes me feel at ease and like she's really listening. There is a deep, safe, warmth there even when you feel scared. She is non-judgemental, friendly and fun. She remembers what I tell her about how I think/feel and explains/reflects things back to me in a manner that suits me. I highly recommend her.

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.
