I'm truly thankful for my therapist, Brittany. She's professional, respectful, honest and checks in with me. There are times where I go silent, as I get busy with life and she checks in to ensure I'm managing well. I truly feel she cares about her clients/patients.

Brittany has been absolutely amazing through my therapy journey. When I'm not in therapy and I get overwhelmed I replay the feedback, suggestions and exercises she provides. It truly helps a lot. She has active listening, is respectful, offers activity worksheets to assist with my anxiety and discover positive qualities about myself, and responds timely when I message her using the portal. I highly recommend her.

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.

I am enjoying my journey into my mental development with Brittany. She is thoughtful when she responds and I feel she is a champion for my success!
Brittany is great and I couldn't be provided with a better therapist. She offers suggestions which help me tap deep into myself to heal. She truly listens, checks in, and provides worksheet exercises to recognize one's strength. As she talks and listens, you can truly feel her genuine care and concern.
So sweet and thoughtful. She will help you get to the root of your situation. Look no further. I highly recommend.
