One of the best therapists one had. She really listens but also advised in an unbiased way that makes you comfortable and learn to trust your own judgement. She's always checking in with me which I also appreciate.

More about Ilese
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I specialize in targeting negative messages inherited from past events that support feeling anxious, depressed or a lack of confidence and love. I'll work with you to transform these messages from an attachment framework using a trauma-informed approach. The result? You'll have a greater ability to let go of the past, heal and improve your relationships because the negative messages and narrative that kept you reliving the past, no longer feels true. I am licensed in California with 13 years of professional work experience and would be honored to work with you so that you can reach your goals!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
