You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?
Besides traditional, in-person therapy, I also offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth (video/phone) sessions. Topics can include healing from prior sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, and grief recovery. I strive to assist you in feeling comfortable while sharing difficult things. I also stay driven to learn ways to better effectively provide therapy.
I am a small town, country girl, with a heart for serving. If I can't help you, I will be glad to assist with a referral to another counselor or agency. What is most important to me is that you get the help you deserve! Your mental and emotional health matters.
