Shawayna gives you the time to express yourself and listens. There is no judgement on her part because she is there for you. Trying to figure out ways on how to process your emotions and gives you ideas on how to move forward. So far during our sessions I’ve felt relief and at ease once things are discussed. I appreciate how kind and patient she is.

You deserve happiness. You deserve joy. You deserve to live your best life and enjoy it to the fullest. At times, life’s circumstances can hinder you from living to your greatest potential.

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.
