I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Katie as my therapist. From the very first session, she created a safe, warm, and welcoming space where I felt truly heard and understood. Katie has an incredible ability to listen with compassion and provide insightful feedback that has helped me tremendously on my personal journey. Her approach is both professional and empathetic, striking the perfect balance between offering support and gently challenging me to grow. I have made significant progress in understanding myself, managing my emotions, and tackling difficult situations, all thanks to Katie's guidance. She has an intuitive sense of what I need in each session, always offering tools and strategies that are practical and effective. Katie is truly a gift, and I feel fortunate to have her as my therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and insightful 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.
