I had my doubts about speaking to a therapist— Toni is nothing I imagined a therapist could be and everything I didn’t know I needed. Toni is supportive, understanding, and receives what is being said without judgement or any pre-conceived notions. She is refreshing and light, but isn’t afraid of the dark and will help guide you through with the best of intentions. Toni wants to know you, understand what you need , and she will adhere to it(within reason, of course). 15/10 recommend Toni to help you get it all out there. I wish I could gift her to everyone I know who is looking.

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.
