Out of the two therapists I've ever had, she is the better of the two. Would seek her out if I needed therapy again in the future.

Recent reviews
I’ve had many therapists in my lifetime, (too many that I’d like to admit to). Tarsha is the best and most relatable. She meets me where I am while letting me find my own answers. My journey with her is coming up on a year and 7 months and I couldn’t be more proud of the myself and the progress that I’ve made with her help and tools.

Hello. I am Tarsha Banks-Williams. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida and I hold a National Certification in Counseling. I have over 16 years of experience in providing counseling. I have served clients from the ages of 5 to 80 years old. I have conducted individual, group and family counseling in the past. I have conducted various assessments such as crisis assessments, suicidal assessments, substance abuse assessments, mini mental status exams, and so forth. I have worked with individuals with and without disabilities (e.g., physical and/or mental), individuals in and outside of correctional settings, and individuals, including parents of school aged children. Areas of concern that I have assisted clients with range from mental health concerns (e.g., Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, coping with a loved one with Dementia, ADHD, ODD, Conduct Disorder, self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideations, etc.), self-esteem issues, relational issues, career-related issues, grief & loss, life goals, and so forth. I am confident that I can assist you with the challenging issues or concerns that you are currently facing. The therapeutic modalities I tend to use a great deal are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Together we will outline the best approach for you, as each person is unique in their own way.
I am 100% dedicated and motivated in my career field and believe that my passion is to help others to succeed in life. I am here for you when you are ready to get started on this journey. At times this journey may seem hard, overwhelming and you may feel like giving up but just remember that anything worth having is worth fighting for. I am here to support you throughout this counseling process.
So, let's get started today...
Sincerely,
Tarsha Banks-Williams, MS, LMHC, NCC

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.

Overall rating:
Out of the two therapists I've ever had, she is the better of the two. Would seek her out if I needed therapy again in the future.
I’ve had many therapists in my lifetime, (too many that I’d like to admit to). Tarsha is the best and most relatable. She meets me where I am while letting me find my own answers. My journey with her is coming up on a year and 7 months and I couldn’t be more proud of the myself and the progress that I’ve made with her help and tools.
I appreciate TARSHA. She listens to what I’m saying and literally dissects it. She checks in with me a few times a week and I appreciate it. After only 2/3 sessions I know this is going to be a good journey.
