Samantha is amazing. She is a great listener gives the best advice. Helped me ease my anxiety and find the right strategies that work for me.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

It’s like talking to a best friend that I don’t have to worry will judge me. Samantha is insightful, helpful, and our sessions never feel like “work” or an “appointment”. I feel heard, validated, guided and “lighter” after our conversations and genuinely look forward to them, which makes sticking to therapy all the more easy for someone like me- who typically flakes out on things. Absolutely love my time with Samantha !

Samantha has only been helping me for a few weeks, but I don't know how I would be able to manage so much without her help. She listens to me but she also responds with advice that isn't pointless where you would normally roll your eyes if someone else said it. She is genuine with her words and gentle with every approach. She asks questions and makes me feel listened. She has become a huge support system during a tragically eventful season.
