I've been on this platform for a little over two years and I'm very thankful to have connected with Dr. Prior recently. She's a fantastic listener, always remembering the finest details, and she has a very calming demeanor. I feel very safe and comfortable discussing deeply vulnerable topics with her. She does a lovely job of listening and asking questions, which is a balance I think is hard to strike. I feel very confident in her approach and ability to help me reach my goals. I highly recommend her to anyone!

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.

Dr. Prior is amazing at what she does. She is insightful and understanding. She challenges you to be the best version of yourself. She makes you feel heard and respected. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for great counsel.
Dr. Prior actively listens and immediately picks up from where we recently left off throughout next sessions, which means she takes notes either mentally or physically, but I’ve never seen her write anything down. In addition, I know she is observing to see what I need/dont need. I feel comfortable sharing and we balance direction for our conversations, but its not all on me. I like that because I came for help. Im enjoying our sessions so far and I’m looking forward to the next.
I've been working with Dr. Prior for several months now and it's been wonderful. Not only is she an attentive listener, but she remembers even the smallest details about things I've mentioned. She also offers me the tools I need to work on myself outside off our sessions, which feels very collaborative. I consistently feel seen, heard, and understood by her.
Dr. Prior is remarkable she listens and gives great prospective on situations
Dr. Prior is a very good listener . She gives you suggestions on things discussed to achieve what you would like your life to be. This allows you become the best self you can be in life. She follows up to see how you are doing with goals you set for your self. This allow you to see where you are and where you need to be. She stresses the need for self care.
She amazing. Personal and makes me feel comfortable enough to say anything. We haven’t met much but she remembers everything I’ve said.
Dr. Prior is a great listener but also wonderful at providing interaction and feedback. I feel seen and supported. Thank you!
