Darlene is an active listener. She lets you guide the conversation and knows how to ask important questions to draw out underlying aspects of what you are going through. She is knowledgeable about a variety of therapy techniques and I feel confident in her ability to help me with my complex therapy needs. Strongly recommend.

Life events sometimes throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Do you now or often experience anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, or the possibility of ending a relationship? These are stressors that give us feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness, impacting your ability to function in relationships, occupation, social life, and obtaining educational goals. Does it seem as though you've been knocked down once too many times and getting up is a struggle? When in the middle of a struggle, words such as "tomorrow" and "feeling better" seem so far away.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
