Makeesa is the best. She is helping me to discover my self worth, confidence and power to thrive - not just survive- in this life. She has an impressive way of holding up mirrors up at just the right moment, allowing you to see yourself, to learn about yourself and build the understanding and skills to navigate your place in the world. I’ve never had anyone in my life help me to see and understand myself at this level. Did I mention…. Makeesa is the BEST!

This is the first time I tried therapy so I didn’t know what to expect. Especially online therapy. I can honestly say that after only a few sessions with Makeesa I could see my progress. This I did not expect. Makeesa’s patience, insite, knowledge and expertise show through in every session. She has helped me develop the tools and mindset to address my issues and challenges in real time, throughout my day. Makeesa immediately made me feel comfortable and I find it very easy to confide in and trust her. Quite honestly she has me thinking about and discovering things I never considered before. This empowers me and opens up my mind to new ways of seeing the world around me and within me. I am always excited for each upcoming session with Makeesa. I have heartfelt appreciation for her and her skills and abilities. I am forever grateful. She is changing my life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Makeesa is great. She’s very understanding & validates me and my emotions and reassures me that these emotions are okay to have, but she is also very helping in guiding me in a healthy way to let out my emotions. She’s a great therapist. I’ve only had a couple sessions with her & I’m learning a lot. She also gives worksheets which can be very helpful as well to monitor my progress
