She is an awesome therapist. I feel like she actually listens to me and makes me feel safe to talk to her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a therapist. Which in reality everyone would benefit from a therapist. However, she is an amazing therapist and anyone would be lucky to have her.

Zakiya is a compassionate therapist and and excellent listener. She is easy to talk to and engages me to think from different perspectives. I have worked as a school counselor for over 10 years and an educator for 19 years. I received a bachelor's in social work and a master's in counseling from Prairie View A&M University. I am a licensed professional counselor for the state of Texas. My treatment approach is more of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused. I have a passion of helping other and being of service to others.

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.
