I’ve been with Taina for several months & I am so happy & thankful she is my therapist! She’s helped me so much with my anxiety by recommending to me what tools I can use to manage it. She is very thoughtful & sensitive listener to my issues but also great at directing my focus a a specific issue. I feel I can trust completely her which is huge for me to say. I would recommend Taina to anyone who is in need or want of a intelligent, compassionate, real, & trustworthy therapist.

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.
