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.

Amazing woman! Fantastic! Loving, caring and thoughtful too!
Tara is amazing! She’s very patient, kind, and attentive. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her so far!
Tara is an amazing therapist. She's incredibly knowledge, caring, and understanding. I never feel like something I said is missed or overlooked. I feel that she listens to me, and does extensive research on every issue I have. (Either that or she just knows sooooo much). When she asks questions, I feel like she knows exactly what I feel, and often brings me to those "holy crap that's right" moments about myself. She's straightforward, doesn't hide stuff, and entirely trustworthy. When presented with the opportunity to write a review I jumped at it. I feel it's the least I can do for all she's done for me.
