Shirin has an incredibly calming demeanor. She listens intently, gives thoughtful and supportive feedback, and her advice is constructive and helpful.

She helps me through all spectrums of my life, encouraging me to work through past traumas, present hardships and future dreams with an empathetic and compassionate attitude. Grateful to have been matched up with Shirin Rahimi!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Helpful
Sharing listens and helps me talk through frustrations. She offers coping skills and responds to me in a timely manner.
Even though Shirin and I have only had a few sessions, I already feel that she has been a great help. She’s always respectful and immersive in all of our conversations during our sessions but even outside our sessions she follows up with me and reminds that she’s there if I need someone to talk to. Sending me worksheets and questioners that I complete on my own time in between our session; I’ve noticed has also helped the both of us get a clearer idea of my priorities and it helps us find topics to talk about during our sessions!
