My life has improved since Tamara and I started speaking. She listens, cares, and gives supportive advice while “keeping it real”. It means a lot that she recalls things we have spoken about in the past and checks in about those things.

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.

Tamara is great ! I’ve enjoyed our sessions so far , she makes me feel comfortable and I like that she actively listens to me , participates in the conversation, and identifies the challenges I may be facing and why.
