Dr. New-Edson balances professional relatability with her abundance of knowledge and experience. She is clear with me on her scope of work while meeting my needs/ preferences. I find she gives me space to verbally process without leading me to a specific thought/ place. Dr. New-Edson offers me different perspectives and challenging questions that allow me to consider new ideas. We were able to quickly establish trust, allowing me to dig deep into areas I am not comfortable discussing with most people. She has been an incredible support and resource with notably strong ethics. I am grateful to have found her through betterhelp .

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.

I knew from my first session that Rebecca was going to be a great person to navigate the things I felt were important to address. She listens to understand, shares relevant information, challenges my thinking, and actively provides homework. This is the longest I’ve attended therapy and most confident I’ve been with progress yet!
