Working with Howard as my therapist has been a rewarding and an amazing experience. When I leave the therapy session, I have an opportunities to do something different (for the better) by using the techniques or activities given. Howard is attentive and has a calm demeanor which helps me stay grounded. I am a work in progress, yet excited to know I am in trusted hands with Howard.

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.
