Excellent experience. Very thoughtful and engaging approach.

Reviewed February 2024

I was returning to therapy after many years of depression and anxiety. Due to previous experiences I was skeptical about finding a good match and making any progress. After one session with Tamara I felt understood and hopeful. Tamara speaks to and treats me with respect. I can count on her gentle but firm guidance. She has a way of pulling thoughts and feelings out of me that lead to greater insights about myself. Often our sessions are followed by recommended exercises to do, read, view, or listen to--all of which lead to growth and greater self-understanding. What more could anyone ask? I am so appreciative of these few months working with Tamara Coleman and value what she has helped me learn.

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.
