Hi! My name is Aliyah Banister and I'm a Licensed Clinical Therapist with over 10 years of experience. I've worked with hundreds of youth, adults, couples, and families. In 2010, I received my master’s from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in Clinical Social Work. I currently specialize with children, youth, and families.
My clients have struggled with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, abuse, divorce, relationship conflict, identity, etc. My approach to counseling is eclectic as well as holistic. My aim is to help my clients understand their past, how it may affect their present, and develop coping mechanisms to foster a brighter future.
It takes a lot of guts to reach out for help. I commend you for that. I'm also so happy you are thinking about seeking some advice or considering making a positive change. I look forward to working together to reach your goals!

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.
