its only been a few weeks, but I strongly feel Michael is a great fit and so far is really checking all the boxes. He listens and lets me get comfortably UNcomfortable and in doing so has guided me to think about things I've never even considered. Only a truly skilled and gifted clinician can do this and he is definitely that. Feeling positive and growth focused which is all anyone can ever hope for :-)

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.
