Doctor McTavous made me feel comfortable from our initial session. I could tell she read the goals I submitted prior to starting. She was able to conduct our sessions with intuitive ability based on her experience regarding past trauma, relationships, intimacy, & progressing. I see her as a gifted well-rounded personable counselor who will truly care about you.

I appreciate how Dr. Mac is very empathetic and ready to tackle things, at my speed. I also appreciate the partnership approach to my healing. The worksheets and activities have also been relevant to my healing, and she is very open to the feedback I provide. She's been a blessing.

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.

As a Church Pastor, I find BetterHelp to be a reliable place to refer people to. As someone who is grieving myself (widowed) I make use of the convenience of talking with an excellent listener outside of my normal church circles. My Counsellor, Adeline, has been supportive and encouraging. I dont feel I have to meet any expectations and I can just receive her goodwill and comfort. Counselling is often about what we bring to the table ourselves. I dont need someone to tell me how to fix everything. I do need someone to reflect with and help me feel more confident about being more fully myself. We have developed a healthy relationship of respect and I always feel supported.
