Nicole is exactly what I was looking for from not only a therapist but also from a therapist of color. She understands exactly how I’m feeling and gives me the support, encouragement, and dose of reality I need to move further along in my personal journey.

I think Nicole was the right fit for me. I previously was assigned to someone else, but Nicole understands my cultural background and all that comes with the immigrant family dynamic and expectations thereof. She is also welcoming and encouraging which helps me talk through harder issues. I feel safe and comfortable communicating with her which wasn't the case with others. She also offers a variety of resources to help me get out of my comfort zone. I look forward to our sessions and I try to apply what I learn or at least take a step in the right direction.

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.
