Bernadette is truly a gifted therapist! From just the first session, I felt understood and heard. Highly recommend her for immigrant background folks who have a complicated upbringing and looking for ways to resolve and evolve out of their troubles. Bernadette deeply understands the human condition and how to support in our healing so we can get to the other side of ourself. If you’re ready to go deep, go talk to Bernadette and be ready to be uncomfortable because that’s where the magic happens.

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.
