I’ve had 3 sessions with Alisha and in that short time, she’s been able to challenge me in a compassionate way to look beyond the blame and move me toward being able to name the pain. I’m grateful for her expertise, patience, and active listening that results in giving me tools to practice with her and with the people in my life. I look forward to more sessions with her in the future!

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.
