Keith is a great listener. He uses what you say and provides you tools to overcome whatever it is that you’re going through. Before I met Keith, I had very little hope that I would ever be okay again. We’re still working through it but I feel much better than when we first started and he’s confident he can help me get to a better place and that’s all I can ask for. I highly recommend him!

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.
