This by far has been my best experience with a therapist. Alena has been truly a godsend. I believe she genuinely cares about my well being and my progression. Alena not only is active during our live sessions , but she is quick to respond to my messages. Every Monday she sends out a message with a quote. It's usually a very feel good message, motivational message to start your week off right and I really enjoy them.

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.

Alena listens and easily helps me understand the direction i am heading and helps me discover a better path
Alena was exactly what I needed to help me get through my issues. She is a great therapist and I will continue to use her.
Great therapist greatly limited by their time offerings due to being located in a different country than me.
