I’m Ophelia and I’m excited you have found my page. I love working with young adults and adults to find their passion in life, remove the blocks that prevent them from being their most awesome self and learn to live a life they've envisioned. Over the course of my professional career, I have acquired significant clinical experience with individuals and groups in the following areas:
• Christian Counseling
• Communication skills
• Depression and Bipolar Disorder
• Immigration and Adjustment Distress
• Anxiety Disorders
• Acculturation Issues
• Conflict Resolution
• Family and Relationship Issues
• Anger and Stress Management
• Chronic Mental Illness
• Couple’s Conflict
• Self-image and Self-Esteem Issues
I utilize a variety of techniques, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, crisis intervention, stress management, assertiveness training, mood management, anxiety reduction, empowerment and work/life balance. I firmly believe that even the most precious of all gems needs to be chiseled and faceted to attain its best shine.
I am excited about your decision to work to be the whole person you were created to be!

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.

She's a great therapist. The 3 months spent receiving her help has been a blessing. It has changed the course of my life for the better!
I really like how Ophelia feels kind and thoughtful and listens to me during our sessions, and I definitely feel like our practice has been helpful to me.
I am so thankful to Ophelia, we have just done a couple of sessions but I do feel like I have benefited alot from the therapy. I feel I am making progress with the tools she has given me so far. Thank you Ophelia.
I have had 2 sessions with Ophelia so far and she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She really and truly listens and treats me with respect. I’ve had bad experiences with previous therapists so I am a little untrusting with them and have put off having further therapy because of my negative past experiences. Ophelia is non-judgemental and non-condescending. She has really restored my faith in therapists. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Ophelia.
Ophelia is an amazing therapist. I was a little skeptical having never done this, but I went into it willing to try. While I've only had 3 sessions she has given me much insight on some of the things I'm dealing with. Id highly recommend her!
She is so pleasant and she understands exactly where I’m coming from and offers the most objective advice and practical tools for me to use. I also appreciate her kindness and spiritual awareness.
