She has been great! She understands that we are not all in the same place and that life is a rollercoaster, effected by internal and external events. She listens, and pushes the hard topics. Which is what I need.

I am so happy I was connected with Racheal. She is a wonderful therapist that not only leaves space for me to explain how I’m feeling, but also asks questions that help me find solutions that will work for me. She then gives me examples of how to apply those solutions or strategies to other parts of my life. I feel very comfortable during my sessions with Racheal.

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.
