About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

I cannot emphasize enough just how amazing Siyama Drake is for numerous reasons. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is extremely helpful, insightful, understanding, positive, empowering, strong-willed and makes me think about situations/scenarios in a different light. Just to highlight several of her strong points, she is amazing at: 1.) Identifying and understanding underlying problems and coming up with a multitude of different solutions 2.) Focusing on what my concern is and coming up with various strategies of how to overcome it 3.) Asking good questions about the surrounding concern/topic at hand and make me think outside the box regarding it 4.) Being positive 5.) finding healthy outlets/lifestyle modifications for me to focus on during the week These are definitely beneficial and helpful for me to recognize and understand the situation, think independently, have solutions and implement strategies for me. If there is a person to spend your time speaking with about anything, 5/5 stars would always recommend Siyama to anyone. Thank you Siyama for everything you do and help with. You are very much appreciated.
