I trust Ije. Currently undergoing a PhD program in psychology, Ije is an experienced and skilled professional that keeps further investing in her knowledge. This builds trust as I met someone likeminded that I can relate to and it also gives me the comfort of getting up-to-date support. I like how she blends in our treatment different perspectives with tools, as this makes me ground those new approaches to reality. Ije handles the sessions with confidence dosing perfectly listening vs speaking, maintaining so a human nature all along the journey.

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.
