I was very skeptical about therapy in general and Colleen completely changed my mind about that. I look forward to sessions with her all week and feel like the best frame of mind i am in all week is following sessions with her. Her knowledge and expertise are second to none, and she is always able to send me in a positive direction, no matter where our conversation goes

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.

She is very understanding and communicates on your level. She also gives real life situations to help you understand how to use. Tools to help you through life.
I was not a fan or believer of therapy. Now I am!!!
I love her and her understanding of my situation helps so much
