La Tonya is AMAZING! She is so compassionate and is able to give great advice with empathy. When looking for a therapist, I wanted someone that was able to be sensitive as well as honest, and she is just that. Her sense of humor also helps break down any tension or worries that I have. 1000% recommend her!

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.

La Tonya is Amazing highly recommend
La Tonya is a great listener and truly seems to hone in on my problem areas. She professionally challenges my cognitive distortions and helps me replace anxious thoughts with fact based ones. I came to her with a host of struggles from the last few years. She was undaunted and has really helped me focus on several big areas. I’ve already noticed significant positive improvement in just a few sessions.
