More about Amirah

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed chemical dependency counselor with over 20 years of experience. Counseling with me begins with a relationship which involves active work such as personal introspection, reflection and out of session assignments in an ongoing process on an outpatient basis. Through this process we will explore your present situation, the changes you would like to see happen, what these changes look like, your needs and wants, your safety and your emotions. I approach therapy with an accepting, egalitarian, multicultural approach. As your therapist, I will challenge you. The process of change is hard work and I encourage you to keep working even when it’s difficult. I am not a medical doctor and not able to practice medicine. The counseling relationship is voluntary, and you can terminate services at any time.

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.
