Ms. Saundra is one of those hidden gems! It’s hard trying to find that perfect therapist who can (and is willing) to address all of your needs and somehow Ms. Saundra manages to do that. She has a gift of knowing the things I NEED to hear. She’s straightforward which works best for me. Our sessions feel more like a *structured* girl talk, I feel so comfortable opening up about things that are cringy or embarrassing. Ms. Saundra gives me space to be emotional but doesn’t allow me to stay there, which I appreciate. She is teaching me how to give my self grace & how to move on. I appreciate her sharing relatable and relevant stories, it helps me feel like most of the stuff I stress about is typical life stuff. I truly appreciate all the work Ms. Saundra does, she’s literally like having your own personal cheerleader!

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.
