More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 26 State: Georgia

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 26 years of experience working with children, couples and families with trauma histories living in residential and community settings. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) techniques to address the diverse needs of my clients. My counseling style is based upon the needs of my clients. I can be supportive and also challenging when needed to address the barriers that are keeping you stuck in the same place.

Recognizing that you need help to overcome challenges in your life is the first step to making changes. I'm here to help you get started on the road to living a happier, healthier and satisfying life. I look forward to working with you to meet your maximum potential.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I cannot emphasize enough just how amazing Siyama Drake is for numerous reasons. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is extremely helpful, insightful, understanding, positive, empowering, strong-willed and makes me think about situations/scenarios in a different light. Just to highlight several of her strong points, she is amazing at: 1.) Identifying and understanding underlying problems and coming up with a multitude of different solutions 2.) Focusing on what my concern is and coming up with various strategies of how to overcome it 3.) Asking good questions about the surrounding concern/topic at hand and make me think outside the box regarding it 4.) Being positive 5.) finding healthy outlets/lifestyle modifications for me to focus on during the week These are definitely beneficial and helpful for me to recognize and understand the situation, think independently, have solutions and implement strategies for me. If there is a person to spend your time speaking with about anything, 5/5 stars would always recommend Siyama to anyone. Thank you Siyama for everything you do and help with. You are very much appreciated.
