Shawayna gives you the time to express yourself and listens. There is no judgement on her part because she is there for you. Trying to figure out ways on how to process your emotions and gives you ideas on how to move forward. So far during our sessions I’ve felt relief and at ease once things are discussed. I appreciate how kind and patient she is.

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.
