Erica has been a tremendous help to me so far in my healing journey. Not only is she very personable and supportive, but she challenges me to think differently. She listens to you and definitely brightens your day after each session. I highly recommend her and she is very knowledgeable in the field.

What do you say when words aren't enough to show my appreciation thus far? I'm not big on sharing my feelings but Erica makes it easy to just speak freely and be whom I am; I get that most people will say she gets paid for this, but she is different, If you've ever had counseling before you will definitely notice the difference! Would I recommend her? Absolutely!

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.
