I have been with Anastasia as my therapist for about a year now and I can't see myself with anyone else. We fit like a glove. She's compassionate, straight-forward, patient and insightful. She has given me great tools to help build my self confidence and self love, my relationships ( work, romantic, family, etc) and allows me to be ME. She has become my confidant all while staying 100%professional. I would absolutely recommend.

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.

Anastasia brings insight and empathy, I am grateful for her expertise.
I have been with Anastasia as my therapist for about a year now and I can't see myself with anyone else. We fit like a glove. She's compassionate, straight-forward, patient and insightful. She has given me great tools to help build my self confidence and self love, my relationships ( work, romantic, family, etc) and allows me to be ME. She has become my confidant all while staying 100%professional. I would absolutely recommend.
She knows me better than I know myself at this point. Shes very quick to adjust if I reveal something I've been hiding, and knows to keep me in check if she notices me sugar-coating. Her sweet bubbly personality makes it easier to feel less tense
Anastasia is a very caring and true woman helping me through my struggles, while always keeping her eye keen to my changes in mood or behavior. She is absolutely professional while caring about me individually.
So far I have enjoyed working with Anastasia. She has really heard my needs and definitely helped ease my concerns about myself. I also appreciate that she has been willing to share documents an other helpful information.
