With almost a year of therapy with Dr. Kiki, I can honestly say my life, mental health, boundaries, self-care, and compassion towards myself have grown tremendously. I always feel stronger and ready to make better and healthier decisions for myself while giving myself credit for my growth after our sessions. Dr. Kiki is genuine, caring, warm, and firm in all the ways it is needed. She is responsive and has a way of helping me connect the dots in a way I wouldn’t be able to do alone. I highly recommend her!

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.
