I have seen other therapist, but I feel like Susan really understands me and listens to me. I take a long time to explain my feelings and I have never felt rushed by her. I am very happy I started this and met Susan.

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.

Best therapist ever. Truly!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about Susan
Susan makes me feel like I am really being listened to and I truly appreciate that. She asks questions regarding journal entries that lets me know that she really read what I wrote and picks up on the little detail that I barely even remember I wrote. So far so good.
She is kind and patience reminds me of my grandma and she is always listening and she guided me in many ways it was more than just helpful
Susan was helpful and kind. Her approach is thoughtful and collegial. She made our sessions feel open and non-judgmental. I made great strides during our time working together.
Honestly the best therapist I have ever had! She is so wonderful, understanding, gives great advice and I feel very safe with her. Cannot say enough amazing things about Susan. So grateful for her!!
