I have been trying to find a therapist who is a good fit for me on and off for years, and I am so so thankful to have found Hamidah! SHE IS AMAZING! She listens and hears everything I say and always says exactly what I need to hear! She helps me sort through my anxieties and thoughts and really get down to the core of them. She helps me create actionable steps to get me to achieve the things I want to achieve as well. She has made therapy something I look forward to every week, AND I am already seeing changes in my life within a month that I have been trying to achieve on my own for years to no avail. I could honestly go on for hours, but I have never felt so seen and so supported before!! Because of Hamidah, I can honestly say that therapy truly can be life changing!

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.
