More about Yiasha

- LPC
Finding a therapist and treatment approach that fits your needs is very important. I have primarily worked with young adults experiencing life changes and adjustment to adulthood, individuals with chronic mental illness, and families. I primarily specialize in working with individuals who experience depression, trauma and anxiety that are hoping to find an outlet of support. During each session, I strive to bring positive energy to focus on changing those negative thoughts that may control how you function day to day. I also value your time and believe that you should not feel alone during your time in therapy.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
