I was always skeptical about therapy, but I finally decided to take the step, and I can honestly say that even in this short time, it has helped me tremendously. Meera makes it so easy to open up and see things from a new perspective. She has helped me heal from past experiences that I held onto for years or never fully processed. I look forward to each session and feel excited knowing that, through my conversations with Meera, I can continue to work through my past and become the best version of myself.

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.
