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, 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.

Sahntanyna is a great therapist. She’s a rare experience for me. She listens to me talk and then gives me tools to “try on” that are really beneficial to addressing the conflicts in my life. I come from a diverse background and she listens to understand and helps me figure out the best way to solve this issue in my shoes. She has given me tools to support and listening ear at a time where I needed it the most. I would not hesitate in booking her.
