I have had bad experiences in the past so coming in I was not to sure. However just with the first video session La Toya Tanniehill completely changed my opinion. I was comfortable with her. I opened up to her immediately and I have a hard time letting people in. I’m looking forward to this journey!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Having LaToya as my therapist has changed my life. I tell everyone that my therapist is my best friend. LaToya has really fostered an endearing relationship with me, and I value it to the utmost degree. She’s an excellent listener when I need her to be, and when she offers me her professional expertise, it’s always spot on. Having a therapist that you can relate to is worth it’s weight in gold, and I love that she gets me and understands me and takes her time to learn me in every session by letting me talk her ear off lol. I’m so glad that LaToya was placed in my life. I wouldn’t know what to do without her…

LaToya has taken my rather crisis-packed saga and sliced through it with a strategic plan that I felt very empowered to execute. With her messages, questionnaires, and video therapy sessions, I feel I can follow through to find my peace and strength.
