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.

Tara is kind and knowledgeable.
Tara has been very helpful, knowledgeable and offered many options for introspective research.
Tara offers a safe, relaxing, calm space to express and address my needs. She never offers judgement! Listen very well and let's me know she's is receiving what I'm expressing by the way she responds to my issues
I had a lot of anxiety about starting therapy, but after just a few sessions with Tara, I don't have any anxiety about therapy. I am very comfortable telling her anything that I am struggling with. She is definitely helping me to see I have the power to put me first.
Very caring and understanding therapist I believe that she has my best interest while we are in therapy great person that understands my concerns.
Tara is awesome! Very professional and always attentive. Great!

Tara Jenkins is by far one of the best!!!
Love her! We had a connection right away! She listens so well and offers so much advice! She’s very down to earth and has a heart of gold!
She is a very nice person who likes talking to you and always has solutions or better advice.
Tara is awesome. She gives me tools to help deal with the everyday stresses of life and also the big moments in life too. I’m realizing that you understand how good your therapist is when you’re not is session as much as when you are in sessions. Thanks Tara!
Tara Jenkins is a cool person to talk to funny and caring and that helps a lot
Tara is amazing! She keeps me accountable, truly cares, knows her clients well, and is genuinely the nicest person. Truly appreciate her aides/helpful tools, goal-setting advice, and I just love her!
Tara is a calming presence and a good listener, she offers thoughtful perspectives based on the information you give her. She’s accommodating and prompt. I greatly enjoyed talking and messaging with her.
I like Tara a lot and recommend highly
Tara is occasionally distracted which causes me to be distracted. I have always felt like Tara is super good at circling back to sharing advice though. She never leaves me feeling like she didn’t totally care for me.
Tara is a well educated yet relatable person. She hears me and then helps me work on steps to get to where I want to be in a relationship that in my life that has a history of being difficult for me. She has helped me indentify clear goals and work towards those. I feel more confident as a mom and with communication since doing sessions with Tara. I’m very thankful for her.
