Taz has been a great help for me. I was struggling with a lot of anxiety and stress, while I could not really identify the underlying cause. Within 2 sessions, she identified that I might have ADHD, something I did not know much about and had never considered as a cause for my issues. I have since been formally diagnosed and can now focus on how I can manage some of my ADHD symptoms. I have had therapy before, and Taz is the first person to pick up that my symptoms could be caused by ADHD. That is life-changing for me.

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.

Taz has been amazing supporting me over the past few months. She has been such a good ear when I felt as though I had nobody to listen. Taz is very easy to talk to but doesn’t push when things feel to difficult. I would recommend her to anyone looking to start therapy!
I only started with Taz a few weeks ago but I am so happy I did! She is so great and understands me completely. She is lovely and kind and always has the best advice. She has helped me so much even in such a short amount of time. Thank you Taz, you are the best
She is so understanding person and I feel comfortable when talking to her
Therapy with Taz has been an eye-opening refresher. Personally, she has helped me gain confidence, assertiveness and practicing difficult boundaries. I learned more ways to help regulate myself thanks to Taz and for that I am eternally grateful :)
Amazing
Taz is a patient and skilled therapist with whom I developed a strong rapport. Would recommend.
I could not recommend Taz more, she helped me so much and is an exceptional therapist. She is kind and compassionate. If you need someone understanding and free of judgement she is the person to reach out to. I have nothing negative to say about my experience with her! Thank you so much Taz!
Taz is empathetic, kind, and extremely considerate. Would 100% recommend.
Taz is amazing
Taz has provided excellent service and best practices for my therapy goals and needs. Taz upholds professionalism in every session and is very enjoyable, warm, demonstrative, and easy to communicate with. Furthermore, my therapy journey with Taz has shown improvements in my life and I cannot express my gratitude enough.
I cant believe the deep understanding that my therapist has when I talk to her. I can confidently say that she is probably the only person on earth that truly gets me and whose validation of whats going inside my head actually matters. She is amazing as she helped me come a long way and discover myself, setting clear boundaries and desl with trauma. I couldn’t possibly have been matched with a better therapist for what I am experiencing. Thank you Taz!
Verry helpfull, listens to you on what you want to say and helps find a solution. Quick with replies and verry polite. I would highly recommend :)
She is the most empathic and kind person ever. She respects boundries as a therapist which provides a lot of confidence in her expertise. We only had 5 appointments and I already reached a few therapy goals. She is extremely understanding and soothing. Couldn’t have been matched with a better therapist! Thank you Taz!
I feel like she understands me and doesnt shy away from making suggestions or asking things. I like that she is not just passively listening. Apart from that she has always been on time and seemed ready for the session.
Very good, and has got me through a very difficult time whilst still helping with what I initially wanted help with. Taz is very responsive, I couldn't ask for more I'm feel that Taz will get me to where I want to be, are you recommend!
