Hello! My name is Kerry! If you're here, it means there is something you are looking for help with. This means you are brave! It takes courage to be vulnerable & ask for help. It says how much you value yourself to make your own mental health a priority. Bravo!
Mental health issues can be difficult to navigate. I have training and proficiency working with folks who have experienced trauma/abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and grief. I would be humbled to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and self-empowerment!
I have been a licensed counselor since May '23. I worked at a nonprofit for over 2 years, providing services to those who experienced trauma &/or abuse. I also specialize in grief, exploration of personal values, self-discovery, & -empowerment. I use pop culture to form rapport, make analogies we use as common references, & to assist the therapeutic process.
Counseling is tough, but is doesn't have to necessarily be unpleasant. It can be relieving, rewarding, build you up, & lead to the place you want to be. I would be honored to be of service, & sincerely look forward to working together! You have value, meaning, & are important. Let's chat! :)

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.
