Rashida is incredibly skilled in what she does. She listens with intent and finds specific ways to help change my frame of thoughts. I look forward each week to my therapy sessions and make all effort to not go without it. I talk about her effectiveness in every day conversations with my friends so much they have asked if they can have Rashida as their therapist. Rashida’s approach of therapy is an instrumental part of my self care.

More about me
Licensing: LCSW, CHT Years in Practice: 9 State: California
Hi there! I'm glad that you're here. I'd like to offer my support on your journey to stabilize and navigate your current challenges. After reading my profile to see if you think we're a good fit, we can chat about your therapy objectives and create a plan to achieve your goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in California. While being attentive, affirming, and positive has always been my personality, counseling wasn't my profession. I have degrees in music performance and research that allowed me the opportunities to explore myself and others in various settings and contexts. As a result, I have experience working with people from all different ethnic, racial, socioeconomic, religious, national, and other backgrounds. Most of my professional life, I have worked with people who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, substance use, parenting complexities, justice-involvement, sex work, homelessness, and chronic pain. New clients quickly learn that I am open to feedback, accepting, curious, and honest. Together, we practice skills that increase confidence to manage present and future challenges.
Since everyone interacts and learns differently, let me know what works best for you to schedule sessions via telehealth or telephone. I am available via text, including most evenings and weekends. If you feel that we are not a good fit, I hope you find a therapist with whom you can grow and develop into the healthiest person you can be!
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. Starting at $65 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.
