Shan is amazing!!! Since being in therapy, I've grown leaps and bounds but I wouldn't have been able to do it without her

Reviewed August 2023

Shantizia has been working with me though my physical (chronic hives ) and mental pressures (hostile work environment and anxiety related stress as a result ) . I was so so so on edge when we first started talking . Over time she’s been responsive and succinct with my care needs . I appreciate this benefit so much and could not imagine a better counselor for this particular journey .

About online counseling

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.

Shantizia is an amazing counselor. I have been working with her for only about a month and I can feel a big difference in how I am processing things. She is always encouraging while still pushing me to really dig deep in working to heal. :)
