I had to switch to a different therapist to fit my personal struggles needs. She has absolutely made me feel seen and heard and given me hope that things will become better. She is encouraging and kind. She is transparent with my care plan and she's always making sure things are not misunderstood or miscommunication. I have peace now moving forward that with her help... I'll be OK

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.

Barb is very compassionate and understanding. She is so easy to talk to! She has helped me to work out issues that are buried that need to be brought to light and dealt with. I am delighted with her!
I felt comfortable and safe with Barb from day one. That is an extremely unusual experience for me. I generally have good intuitions about people and it's been right on with Barbara. She is who I need for this next chapter in my life and so grateful.
