I am a person who's not a big fan of therapy as a whole. It never seemed right for me. Through my life taking twists and turns I was sort of corralled into it, ending up with Stasia, who has completely changed my view on it as a whole. I needed someone who was more willing to take the wheel in a friendly and kind manner, since I didn't know what to say or what to talk about. Stasia is perfectly suited for this as she is a very kind and clearly caring individual who continues to have a clear understanding of me, who I am and the problems I experience.

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.

Stasia Manak has changed my life so much in a matter of months, I will never be able to thank her enough for how amazing she is at her job ❤️
Great and informative sessions.
10/10 would recommend Stasia to anyone needing therapy. She is so easy to talk to and really made me feel comfortable with her warm & loving personality. She's very professional and made my first experience in therapy a very pleasant one.
Stasia is the best! She helped me navigate through one of the hardest transitions of my life. Of all the therapists I’ve seen, Stasia dove into my past unlike any other to help me get in touch with who I am, how I was raised and what tools I need to be my best me. Definitely 1000/10 recommend her.
Very professional and very helpful
