More about Amirah
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed chemical dependency counselor with over 20 years of experience. Counseling with me begins with a relationship which involves active work such as personal introspection, reflection and out of session assignments in an ongoing process on an outpatient basis. Through this process we will explore your present situation, the changes you would like to see happen, what these changes look like, your needs and wants, your safety and your emotions. I approach therapy with an accepting, egalitarian, multicultural approach. As your therapist, I will challenge you. The process of change is hard work and I encourage you to keep working even when it’s difficult. I am not a medical doctor and not able to practice medicine. The counseling relationship is voluntary, and you can terminate services at any time.

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.
