Latoya Johnson has been a blessing in my life. She has a heart for the Job that she does. The most powerful thing I like about her is that she listens and allows me to explore what ever emotions I’m feeling at the time. The Job that she does is not just a Job it’s her passion.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ive been doing therapy for 1 month now and it really does help to have someone to talk to. The internal work is up to the person but I know the rest helps coming from a caring and understanding therapist who can help problem solve and break down things you cant on your own. Latoya has been a pleasure to work with and I enjoy our sessions together. I cant say enough about how its helped me see things about myself I dont see.

As someone who was new to therapy, I was nervous. However, Latoya has blown all of my expectations of therapy out of the water. I couldn’t thank her enough for what she has taught me about myself! She makes me so comfortable especially when she shares her own personal experiences with me. It’s like talking to a friend for an hour… but you walk away with a ton of insightful information and mind blowing realizations.

This is my second therapy experience and so far I’ve completed first session with Latoya, but I feel so fortunate that she is my therapist! My mind is everywhere but she understood the main point, noticed how I said what I said and ask questions to uncover more info about myself naturally. I can tell she’s very knowledgeable.
