Mrs. Cay is blessing in disguise. What I’ve learned so far is: if you want trust you have to give some away. If you want to heal you’re going to have to feel the pain. With the complex background I have I didn’t think anyone would be able to help or come up with a solid plan to tackle it. She is patient, professional, respectful and meets you where you are. If you want someone who knows how to read the room and see past the things not being said out loud Mrs Cay is definitely the one. I got mad respect for her.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

My experience with Cay was and continues to be- in spirit and action- most profound!
She had been so helpful and a saver to me
I respect her experience and highly appreciate it as well! Amazing therapist
She’s great
One session in, and I can say through the worksheets and our first conversation I’ve been able to put things into perspective and I’m getting closer to the goals that I’ve set for myself with the help of Cayresten. I’m grateful I decided to do this. Happy I found her.
