I have experience working with clients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar I and II, Generalized Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, Dissociation, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have experience with clients who have needed Anger Management and Domestic Violence education and parents involved with Child Protective Services (CPS).

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.

Rabiia is an extremely talented counselor. She has been instrumental in helping me work through difficult challenges and develop a better understanding of how to navigate hardship with strength and clarity. I can't recommend her enough!
Dr. Ali has really helped me already, even only after two sessions. I am so grateful for her and this service.
It’s been such a struggle to find someone I can talk to. I feel as though Rabiia is capable of helping me learn how to process the trauma I’ve experienced instead of just cope with it. She’s attentive and asks the questions I’ve been avoiding which have brought me to need assistance. Grateful to have found her!
I was assigned to the perfect person. She challenges my way of thinking and is helping me move in the right direction at a pace that works for me. She’s a good listener and always asks me questions that make me self reflect.
Rabiia was incredibly mindful in our first exchange on-the-phone dialogue, actively listening and offered compassion in her sharing. Ms. Ali has an understanding of my concerns dealing with childhood trauma, repressed sexuality, while understanding and contributing to the use of proper LGBTQ pronouns. Rabiia has offered me a space of visibility.
