Dr. Herrera Silva is an expert at his craft. He cares deeply about his clients and listens intently. Dr. H is very professional during our sessions & can even turn a pretty bad day into a few extra laughs during our hour. The results in my own life & my expectations for therapy have been wildly exceeded by Dr. Herrera Silva, and I can truthfully say it’s been a life changing experience. Initially I told him I would only be here for 8 weeks. But after spending the last 12 weeks working with Dr. H, I don’t see a future where therapy isn’t part 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.
