I couldn’t be more grateful for Yazmin’s support. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly responsive and efficient, always quick to get back to me when I reach out. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, making me feel truly heard and understood. One of the things I appreciate most about Yazmin is her proactive use of worksheets and other tools to help me work through my challenges. These resources have been invaluable in my journey, providing me with practical steps and strategies that I can use in my daily life. Beyond her professional skills, Yazmin is also nice and kind. She creates a warm and welcoming environment in our sessions, which makes it easier to open up and discuss difficult topics. Her kindness and empathy make a significant difference in my therapy experience. I highly recommend Yazmin to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist. She has truly made a positive impact in my life.

About online counseling

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.

Yazmin is so patient, caring and I think of her as my number one cheerleader. She is always filling me with words of encouragement and motivation. She is an exceptional listener and I feel as though she's really gotten to know me and pinpoint the areas in which I struggle with. She's always giving me resources to further support me and challenge the negative way that I tend to think. Really enjoyed our sessions together! I would strongly recommend her!
