Erin Dunham is an authentic person and very helpful with looking at and understanding the struggles I face, both emotional and physical. Her perspective on issues and her approach to providing help are first rate. I've spent countless hours with other therapists and I feel Erin has helped me "move the needle" on challenges I've all but given up on resolving. Highly recommended.

So far, so good! I've had only a few sessions and my interactions with Erin have been great. I feel that she hears me and has readily been available for dialog in the chat. I look forward to working with her to learn, grow, and to find/maintain balance amidst the chaos called my life.

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.
