Madonna is amazing, I had never tried therapy before but I am so grateful that I did. I had my entire life fall apart in a matter of a few weeks, I lost my job, lost multiple family members in a tragedy, and broke up with my girlfriend of six years. I was lost, depressed and didn't know what to do. Thanks to Madonna's help I was able to return to some kind of normalcy finally, piece back together my life and start a new chapter for myself. I am forever grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone who is fortunate enough to work with 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.

I have not been a client of Madonna for long but she’s the best therapist I’ve had so far! I feel like she understands me better than past therapists, offers great advice, and keeps it real. She also asks for specific examples which I appreciate a lot! She really tries to understand and work through specific problems. She asks relevant questions and has solid solutions through talk therapy. I highly recommend Madonna Saganda!

Madonna is very patient and adaptable. There have been plenty of times that she has wanted to discuss one topic but realized that something else was of higher importance and seamlessly switched gears based on my needs.

Very thoughtful, insightful, and effective

Reviewed January 2023

She is the first therapist I have seen that has taken a more proactive and hands on approach to working from the inside out to take charge of my own thoughts and put what we talk about into action. I started therapy about ten years ago, have talked to about four or five separate psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists total and have been in both inpatient and outpatient therapy. Nothing seemed to be as beneficial approach wise until now. Before I coasted and felt as though I was in survival mode, my feelings were only validated and I was told why the other person acted the way they did. Now, with Madonna Saganda, I feel more empowered to take control of my life and this is only the beginning. I’m very happy with this match. It’s exactly what I needed.

Madonna is so so so sweet and extremely attentive about all my needs. I’m 18 and dealing with a LONG grocery list of issues, and everything we’ve discussed and gone over has helped me progress much faster than the therapy I had a year ago. She makes me look forward to therapy!
