I specifically requested a therapist of color, male or female, and she is knocking it out of the park. It’s super easy and comfortable speaking with Assata. She provides such great avenues of how to go about things differently that while a bit scary, have been effective when implemented. I’m really happy I found her at the time I did. 5 stars across the board. I appreciate you Assata!

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.
