More about Aretha
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and PhD-level clinician with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My specialties include trauma recovery, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and relationship issues. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment based therapy, and mindsight to create a supportive and effective healing process. Clients often describe me as warm, straightforward, and deeply attuned—someone who helps them feel seen, understood, and equipped with tools for lasting change.
In my practice, I provide a safe and collaborative space where you can process stress, heal old wounds, and strengthen the relationships that matter most. Whether you are navigating the transition to parenthood, working through past trauma, or seeking to improve communication and connection with a partner, I tailor treatment to your unique needs. My goal is to support you in building resilience, fostering self-awareness, and creating more balance and peace in your life.

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.
