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.

What a kind and patient spirit! Dr. Bergam has helped and continues to help me on an exponential level.
Dr. Bergam is amazing. She is so easy to talk to and I always leave our sessions feeling refreshed
Dr. Bergam is a very sweet therapist that'll listen to what you'd have to say and give her take on the matter like a friendly person you can come back to and chat even if it's something relating to gaining insight to how you'd feel. I found it safe to share my thoughts and discussions with her when it came to my anxiety and relationship.
I have only had two sessions with Dr. Bergam so far but in that short time she has been able to adapt to provide very helpful guidance and treatment for my most pressing concerns and has left me with a sense of hope.
Dr. Bergam is great - she listens and provides helpful feedback! Thank you!!!
I was so relieved when I first met with Dr. Bergam and found out what her areas of expertise were and how well they aligned with my concerns. She has been a tremendous help, not only by listening and supporting me through this tough time, but also by providing incredible resources that have further empowered me to feel I have a strong support network and better tools to identify my emotions so I can work on them.
Dr. Bergam has been incredible. I have only been meeting with her for a few weeks, but I feel like I am being listened to. She has done a fantastic job of helping me through a tough situation, and I feel confident as we move forward.
Dr. Bergman is empathetic, personable, and methodical. She related to me easily, listened to my concerns, checked that she understood what I said, and asked what we should focus on first. I appreciated the listening and giving me agency to decide what to prioritize.
Love Kate. She is so helpful
Dr.Bergam (Kate) is awesome! I was at first a bit shy to go do a video chat but she totally made it comfortable with her kindness, and down to earth personality. Listened to my goals, and guided me through it and held me accountable! Super professional & compassionate!
