I graduated with a Masters in Counseling from University of Texas at San Antonio. I then worked in the correctional setting as a counselor and managed Mental Health Services where I worked in this setting for a total of 8 years. I truly enjoyed working with clients in this underserved population.

In my role I miss the one on one aspect in working directly with clients which is why I look forward to assisting you get to a better place!

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.

At this point I know my issues, I just need support, validation, and a good listener, and Nina fills these needs well. She also gives me tips and tricks I hadn't considered. 10/10, I recommend her as a Therapist.

working with Nina has been a huge game changer for me. she's helping me to discover the root cause of my issues and healthy ways to cope with them. I feel so comfortable and safe talking to her and I'm feeling more and more hopeful that I will, eventually, have all the coping mechanisms I need to start leading a healthier lifestyle.

Nina has been great over the last few months of having sessions with her. I tried several other therapists, but right away I felt good about her. I feel like she listens and hears me very well, but also will call me out on things as needed which I appreciate. I couldn’t recommend Nina enough, she’s great at what she does!

I was a basket case after being sexually abused and ending up in a 24yr marriage to a malignat, grandiose narcissist. I was at the bottom. I started councilling with Nina about a year ago. It was hard work. But I listened and have slowly learned to change the way I thought about myself, as well as others. The councelling helped me see how to be stronger and more positive. I am so happy with all the material this site has to offer.

Nina is very understanding and easy to talk to, she has guided me towards so many helpful tools and resources like worksheets, classes, and group sessions that have made a significant impact on my self-realization and overall well-being.

Reviewed March 2024

She listens very closely to what you're saying and generates questions that make you view things from different perspectives. It helps with really learning more about yourself and being able to solve or at least reinforce positive ways of coping with said problems.

Very compassionate, validates my feelings and asks important probing questions to reach my own conclusions.

Reviewed January 2024

I’m pretty new to therapy as an adult and I’ve tried one other therapist who seemed pretty toxic and not at all what I needed in my life. So a few years go by and my life had led to needing all the help I could get. After my beloved best friend dog Guthrie passed away I was about as sad and low as you could possibly imagine. Fast forward to being ready, I found Nina. And it’s been a learning curve for me knowing how therapy works for me. I feel like I blab my head off and then I get anxious that I’m not doing it right!

Reviewed August 2023

Upon seeking out therapy, I knew I had issues that needed addressing, but I really couldn't identify why I act, behave and think the ways I do that are not benefitting me. The counselor offered to me was and is Nina Foster. I'm old and she's young and I'm a man and she's not, but it seems like this is a therapeutic match made in heaven. Nina has listened to me and my problems, listened to my background descriptions and my complexities in life. She's allowed me to talk and describe my troubles and my wishes. Along the way she has defined a direction for my improvements as a person and identified problems in my past, experiences I've lived through, which now affect my behaviors and peace. She's provided worksheets and direction to help me understand where I have been hurt, where I have hurt myself, and ways to progress to solve psychological problems and confusion. I'm just beginning this journey towards understanding and healing and feel confident that Nina can get me to a place where this is the result. Nina has strong credentials and has been on time and involved with me without distraction. I recommend her to others seeking life help and direction.

Nina is one of the only therapists I’ve ever found who truly made me feel safe to be vulnerable and share things without the fear of being judged. It was a huge relief just to be able to talk to someone who remained neutral but provided validation and gentle guidance or perspective when needed. She is definitely one of the better therapists I’ve ever worked with and my time with her was very valuable.
