Shamika has truly been a blessing in my life. My friends and family have told me time and time again how much I've improved since we started therapy... not to mention how I myself feel so much better, more capable to deal with the hardships of life. She has constantly provided me with support but also with means of achieving my goals and helping me heal and grow as a person. I truly look forward for our sessions every week. Shamika renewed my belief in therapy and how helpful it can be. I wish everyone could find a therapist like her. Can't praise, or recommend her enough.

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.
