I highly recommend my therapist, Emma. She is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I used to have deep feelings of sadness that would drain all my energy, but I have not had these feelings for a long time. I will likely carry the strategies she’s been teaching me for the rest of my life.

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.

Emma is a fantastic therapist who listens and truly meets you where you are at. The best therapist I've had!
Emma has been an amazing help for me regaining confidence while working through a lot of life transitions all at once. She has proven essential in helping me process my thoughts, recognizing my behavioral patterns, and developing a more effective approach toward achieving my desired goals. She is a great listener who has made me feel safe, heard, and validated. I can’t recommend her enough! I’m so happy I was lucky enough to be placed with her from the start.
Emma has shown care and concern for me and has gotten me to open and share with her about myself comfortably so we can get to the roots of my issues. I always look forward to talking with her and feel better afterwards
Best therapist I’ve found in the years I’ve been searching. Listens and understands exactly what I need and is beyond accommodating. She goes above and beyond and checks in sporadically which is helpful and one of the reasons I’m still attending. Wish I found her years ago!
Emma is wonderful therapist to work with, I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for some guidance! She has exceptional attention to detail, and her methods/manner of working with someone make each session worthwhile.
Emma is really experienced and very understanding. I really working with her and would recommend her to anybody.
Emma is truly a kind, patient, and considerate therapist. Highly recommended.
