I had been hesitant over starting therapy as I felt like these sessions would not be enough time to unpack the emotional burdens I have been facing. But Fay was able to create a space for me to share a lot of the things that were concerning me and still provide encouragement and hope through a biblical lens. Our sessions have been filled with a good balance of grace and challenge that I am able to leave sessions pondering/reflecting and feeling renewed and strengthened. I’m grateful for therapy now and am so glad I was matched with Fay and intend on continuing to explore and discover healing along side God.

I just had my first session with Fay. She was humble and gave me the space to share or not to share, but at the same time asked thought provoking questions about me, life and who I am in Christ.
More about Fay
- 35 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LICSW
Using a person-centered approach and evidence-based, yet culturally safe techniques, I have had some successes in working with those who've experienced trauma, especially related to adverse childhood experiences (ACES) resulting in depression, anxiety or relationship and/or boundary issues. It is my belief that the client holds the reins and that goal attainment is within her/his grasp. My training at Columbia University and New York University, along with my Social Work code of ethics, are foundation for a philosophy of respect for the client's right to self-determination while monitoring for safety.

About online counseling

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.

Fay is such a great listener and understands what the core problems are. If you want Christian based treatment, Fay is strongly recommended. As a Christian she approaches with holistic treatment based upon scriptures who are in need help for trauma, anxiety, anger issues.
