Therapy with Nora was a stellar experience that really helped me reach the goals I had with mental heath. She is gentle but does provoke challenging thoughts that helped me realize what I was feeling or examine my actions.

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.

Nora is a great listener, still very early in our sessions but I am excited to keep working with her.
I've only have a couple of sessions with Nora Church, but I have felt completely comfortable and feel she listens to me. She understands there is a lot of layers of grief and has been willing to listen to me and offer some strategies that we will start working on. She responds to my emails in a timely manner. She is compassionate and caring.
