She’s very attentive and help me come along way. She has helped me becoming a better communicator

Reviewed June 2024

Working with Kenita has been nothing but a huge delight. When I started I was very scared to open up, but Kenita made me feel comfortable and provided me with a safe space to discuss everything I was feeling. I’ve had her as a therapist for 4-5 months now, and I amazed at the progress I made during that short period of time. Therapy with Kenita has made me overall happier and more hopeful. I came into this experience as a depressed, anxious emotional wreck. I know I am not at the end of my journey, but I know I’ll be even stronger by then. This is probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you Kenita, you are truly amazing.

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.
