For me Teresa is perfect for my needs. With my busy life I like that I can contact her when I have time and she responds every time. She understands that I'm busy and always running around and I think that's great because I know that if i need her I can just reach out and she'll be there. It's my safety net.

Recent reviews
Teresa is a wonderful person and has a great basis in Christian background. I appreciate her ability to listen and talk without judging and waiting to understand before talking. She has a lot of great resources and would be strongly recommended to those with kids, looking for Christian beliefs, or previously divorced. I look forward to our conversations each week!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It's only been a few weeks, but it feels like we've known eachother for a long time. She has been great with guiding me through my life's exploratory process. I never knew how great the worksheets are, she's been amazing at matching them with me. I'm really enjoying this help.
