I feel really comfortable talking with Rachel. I had different therapists before, but I couldn’t be honest with them because I was ashamed of my thoughts and behavior. Today, I finally opened up about something that has been affecting me for many years, and it feels good to have shared it with someone after all this time. I believe Rachel has been very professional and responsible about showing up for our appointments. I appreciate that she pays attention to everything I mention, and it makes me feel that I am in good hands. I am really glad I found some help. Thank you for your help, Rachel!

Rachel is the package! Smart, kind, an excellent listener, experienced and makes me feel understood. I like that she provides stimulating and contextually helpful insight vs therapy styles where it can feel like you are the only one talking. She does a great job managing me (ADHD) relative to my objectives, while having an understanding of what will keep me on task and engaged. I love that she provides excellent resources if you’re someone like me and is wanting to binge on more of the why and how. She’s demonstrated a depth of knowledge making me feel safe within my complex makeup - CPTSD, OCD, spectrum, panic disorder to name a few. Her approach is caring and effective for me. I highly recommend if you’re wanting to get work done!

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.
