More about Yiasha

  • 6 years' experience

Finding a therapist and treatment approach that fits your needs is very important. I have primarily worked with young adults experiencing life changes and adjustment to adulthood, individuals with chronic mental illness, and families. I primarily specialize in working with individuals who experience depression, trauma and anxiety that are hoping to find an outlet of support. During each session, I strive to bring positive energy to focus on changing those negative thoughts that may control how you function day to day. I also value your time and believe that you should not feel alone during your time in therapy.

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.
