I've been using Better help for a little over a month now, and my therapist Angela has been nothing short of helpful and sharing informative yet caring insights. I highly appreciate her caring, patient, and kind nature, especially as someone who is a minority and deals with a variety of sensitive topics.. Very respectful and will continue to use and recommend!

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique lived experience. I specialize in creating affirming, non-judgmental spaces where individuals can explore their emotional well-being and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively to help clients build resilience, enhance self-understanding, and cultivate healthier emotional patterns.

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.
