Hello, my name is Mindy,
I would first like to start with a little information about myself in the hopes that you will gain comfort and be more at ease in sharing your concerns about what brings you to this site for help.
I am a rather laid-back kind of person what this means for you is that I want to be a part of your solution and help you to be able to move forward in a more positive and productive way in your life, career, family and relationships with an open and comfortable therapeutic relationship. I do not pass judgement on my clients in any way. I feel strongly that I am here to assist you in gaining relief in your struggles and conflicts while helping you find empowerment to move forward in your life and be successful.
I will bring to your sessions many years of practice working with families, couples, children and individuals in achieving personal growth in life. I feel my education and numerous therapeutic relationships create a unique twist, when combined with my personal experiences to provide a positive and productive outcome.
I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Structural and Strategic therapies, but I may also use other techniques to gain success in achieving positive outcomes for my clients.
I look forward to working with you and would find it to be an honor as well as a privilege to help you find the success in gaining a positive outcome in your journey.

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.
