Faranak Hooman has been a godsend. Her demeanor is warm and highly professional. She is very clear as to her approach and makes sure that I understand her obligations to an ethical practice. As my therapist, Fara is able to breakdown my goals into pieces that allow for careful examination and attention. She does not allow me to quickly gloss over information that I might find too uncomfortable to unpack. At the end of our sessions and through “homework” I can see that I am building tools to cope with my past and to build a better future. I highly recommend Faranak Hooman!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
