She is wonderful! She has helped me learn to shift the focus on myself and she has been supportive in providing ways to come up with things that can assist me with my therapy. The talk therapy has helped tremendously. My family has noticed a calmness in me which I did not even pick up on. She makes me feel heard, noticed, and is kind and very professional. She takes the time to listen and she will help push you in the direction needed for your goals. I am glad to know her and love that I have someone who will work with me to help reach my potential and give me the tools needed to get me where I need to be. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I can start my intended path and will have the tools necessary to have a more positive outlook and courage, that I have lost for quite some time, towards my future.

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.

Phenomenal
Thoroughly enjoying working with Jamila. Has definitely been helpful to me.
I'm grateful. She was my first choice. I'm getting better with time
Jamila is very supportive and understanding. I appreciate her because she is positive but still real and not condescending like some therapists can be. I can trust her to be honest and direct with me. She's great. I've never had a therapist I felt comfortable opening up to like that before.
She is a lovely therapist, she really listens and understands everything we talk about.
A very good listener and tries to put herself in other peoples perspectives
She really listens to what I have say and addresses my concerns and issues that I have
Jamila has been extremely helpful
She provides amazing resources and takes the time to help apply the tools she is teaching with patience and respect.
So far she has listened and understood my problems.
First time in therapy and I am very pleased with my therapist.
Jamila is very understanding, easy to talk to and follows up accordingly.
I feel comfortable with you after only one meeting <3
We have only had to sessions but we end the session with me in a better headspace
Jamila is so easy to talk too!! Very responsive and sticks to her words!!! She truly cares.
