Raylene has been a great support and a very professional, personable, and present therapist. What makes Raylene a unique therapist and an amazing one for me is that she is not afraid to challenge you. I leave every session with the encouragement to expand my mind about any given situation and think on it in a new way. I appreciate Raylene's expertise, professionalism, warmth, and I especially love that she is always looking for ways to expand her skills as a therapist. If she doesn't know something, she will not pretend to know. She will go away from the session, research the best thing she can do to help you, and come back with her findings. Therapy with Raylene feels like a collaborative effort to improve. I'm so grateful for her and have never felt as positively challenged, seen or heard by a therapist before.

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.

I really appreciate Riley. She helps me to see underlying issues with my anxiety and depression. I like how she gives me things to work on and goals to help in between visits. She listens and understands what I’m going through. It’s only been a few visits and I feel it helps so much to talk with her
She’s thorough, polite, kind, and attentive. I’m looking forward to continue working with her
