Phyllis is exceptional. She has been incredibly supportive and attentive, offering a safe space where I feel heard and understood. Her approach, which includes paying attention to physical health as complementary to mental, has helped me make positive changes in my life during a very stressful time. She is very punctual, a true professional but retains a great sense of humor which makes every session really feel like a safe space where I can breathe and I can work on overcoming challenges. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist.

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.

phyllis has extensive experience and it shows. she brought personal life perspective and kept our time focused and productive. i’ve been happy working with her.
I have never made any progress until Phyllis. She is so awesome, provides guidance as well as somatic techniques and truly tries to not just tell you that you’re right all the time. Which I like a lot. She really cares about making her clients better. ♥️
Phyllis is very good at listening and showing that she cares. She cares to the extent of following up with you to check on you if she has not heard back from you.
