I have completed 2 therapy sessions with Ms. Ahmed. I find her to be kind and a very good listener. She is also positive and makes a competent and sincere impression. I already feel a great relief to have her to speak with and look forward to my next therapy sessions with her.
More about Hodan

I am an integrative counsellor which means after our initial conversion I will know which approach to use for you to have the best outcome of our sessions and to become a better and healthier you. I greatly enjoy having the opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life by helping them to focus on their accomplishments and reflect on past successes rather than setbacks. I have a caring nature and I am very empathic which can lead to us having a great therapeutic relationship. Want a nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe and be your authentic self then I am definitely the right therapist for you. I have dealt with trauma, sexual abuse, suicide, and domestic violence as well as bereavement. I am a well-rounded therapist and you will feel safe with me. It takes a lot of courage to want to seek help and change but it most definitely is the best decision you'll ever make.

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.

We are human being, who a hurting And being rescheduled very late before a session is not a ideal situation. With no explanation other than for personal reason. I’ll recommend honesty and solution we are both able to accept. No just find a time that is not possible for me to attend.
