Norma is a wonderful therapist. Talking with her reminds me of talking to my Mom who was my best friend that recently passed away. She is non-judgmental and has really great practical tips. She is my favorite therapist I have ever had.

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.

She is amazing! A wonderful listener with a kind heart! I love how empathetic she is!
Norma has been wonderful! She listens with an empathetic heart and uses that to help guide me through my issues. I feel heard and seen, which is extremely helpful especially through some of the toughest things I’ve been working through. I would recommend Norma and BetterHelp.
We have just started but she has provided the resources to get me started and already making adjustments to my daily life
I highly recommend Norma as a therapist. She is truly the best! Her compassionate approach, deep understanding, and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my journey towards healing and self-discovery. Norma creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel comfortable exploring my thoughts and emotions. Her expertise and professionalism shine through in every session, and I am incredibly grateful for her help in navigating life's challenges. Thank you, Norma, for your exceptional care and dedication!
I am extremely grateful that I found Norma. She has helped me through so much already , but still have a long way to go
Norma is very kind and understanding. She will help you work through issues but not rush you through anything. She helped me tremendously with some family issues and I’m very grateful.
REALLY easy therapist to work with. She'd catch me in a panicked ramble, and help me slow down, communicate more efficiently, and prioritize my goals.
