Prof. Cook was the perfect fit for me and my personal challenges. She’s very good at reading my nonverbal communication and stays at a healthy pace of progress. It’s like braces, you can’t move the teeth too fast or you will lose them later on. She is great with the challenges of being a woman of color in a high profile and demanding position. Those challenges are unique and can be culturally exclusive. I genuinely feel she cares about my progress. When I was in my darkest moments that is something I’ve held on too. She responds quickly and makes it a priority if I’ve needed an additional session within the week. My therapy is tailored to me.

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.

I would highly recommend prof cook and her services to anyone. Whether you’re a first timer and are new to therapy or have tried therapy for years and want to try something new or you need someone to just vent to prof cook will not let you down.

Prof Cook is a wonderful therapist. She has a great sense of humor and is a very caring individual. She will check in on me in between sessions and cares about my progress.
Professor Cook understood me and my situation right away. I felt / feel very comfortable and confident in her guidance, and I appreciate the structured homework she provides - because it further illustrates that she is in lockstep with my goals / expected outcomes and really helps me push the needle forward in a meaningful / actionable way.
Professor Cook is the kind of person that digs deep and asks hard questions but does it in such a way that you still feel better and lighter at the end of the session. There are really no words for how invaluable she has been for me.
