Mary is fabulous, and I highly recommended her services!

Feb 2024

My therapist Mary is absolutely what I needed. She has some swag to her. Her energy, patience and vibe are a great fit for me. I would highly recommend her, she doesn’t enable me and allows me to speak and find the answers I need for myself.

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.
